Every summer we encourage patrons of all ages to read and track their reading through Beanstack. This is a reading platform that offers an online way to participate with reading challenges.
The Beanstack app is available in Google Play and through the Apple App Store.
Beanstack patrons can register, log their reading, write reviews, and receive book recommendations.
If you need any help with Beanstack, such as adding or removing a reader from your account, ask any library staff. You can also give us a call at 941-861-1110. Happy reading!
