Winter Reading Program

This winter, let’s cozy up with a good book & dive into a new reading routine together!

The Library is challenging you to read every day (as much as you're able to) between December 1, 2026 & January 2, 2027.

Daily Reading Goals:

Ages 0-5: 15 minutes/day
Agest 6-10: 20 minutes/day
Ages 11-13: 30 minutes/day
Ages 14 and up: 45 minutes/day

Collect winter-themed badges as you keep your reading streak going and earn some milestone prizes at 10 days, 21 days, & completion for at least 28 of the 32-day challenge.


How to Participate:

Register, track your reading, & earn prizes!

The 2026 Winter Reading Program runs from Dec. 1, 2026 - Jan. 2, 2027.

Readers can track their reading through the online platform, Beanstack. Readers may also choose to track your reading offline through paper logs that can be picked up from the library.


Registration:

Registration kicks off November 5 online and at the library. Participants can begin tracking on December 1.

In Beanstack, you can start by registering yourself or a family member. If you have already registered for a past challenge, just sign in.

Please register for the challenge that corresponds with your age group as the daily reading goals are different.
