The Adult Reading Challenge is returning for the third consecutive year! Local adults aged 19 years and above can register or sign-in to their previously made Beanstack account, using the button below.

Adults simply need to complete six books of their choosing and write a short review of each book, to be entered into the library’s raffle. Complete all 10 reading challenges and earn a second entry. Adults can begin logging and tracking their books through Beanstack on June 12. The Adult Summer Reading Challenge is an eight-week program that will end on August 14.
