The 2025 Summer Reading challenge starts Sunday, June 1. Get ready today by setting up your Beanstack account!
Beanstack is a free website and app that Henrico Library uses to offer reading challenges like Summer Reading. Once you start an account for yourself and the other readers in your family, you can log all of your reading and reviews in one place. You can join challenges in Beanstack, and as you reach challenge goals, you'll earn prizes ranging from virtual badges to entries in our Grand Prize drawings!
