Climb the highest mountain, walk the longest trail.... join the Adventure Begins at Your Library Beanstack Adult Summer Challenge!
The challenge runs from June 17 - August 17, but it's not too late to join. Keep reading....
To participate, log days read and complete some fun Adventure activities (also check out the fun facts at the end of the 3 Trivia Quizes) to earn badges and be eligible to possibly win a fun prize.
Yes, the challenge is already underway, but it's not too late to join!
If you have a Beanstack account and are actively using it, you will earn the appropriate logging badges as soon as you join the challenge. If you have an account, but haven't used it in a bit then log in and log the days you have been reading since the challenge started.
Books, eBooks, Audiobooks, and downloadable Audiobooks (from the library and your own shelves) all count! Even reading the daily newspaper or articles from that pile of magazines you have (we're not judging) count!
