The Georgetown County Library system is the latest to join Beanstack, a free app that helps motivate readers of all ages with reading challenges and rewards. Best of all, it’s just in time for the library’s summer reading program and is a great tool for parents and kids to use to help track their summer reading progress!

The app makes it easy to join challenges, set reading goals and track when, how much, and what you read. 

The Beanstack app is available at both the Apple App Store and Google Play. It can also be accessed at georgetowncounty.beanstack.org. After downloading the app, new users will be asked how they will participate in Beanstack and should select the option that says “at my library, school or bookstore.” Then search for “Georgetown County Library System (SC).” From there, just create an account, choose your challenges and start reading!

Among the current challenges available for users in the Georgetown County Library system is the Adventure Begins at Your Library summer reading challenge. There are versions of this challenge for children and adults. Readers join challenges based on their age group and/or grade level. No child is too young to participate. A challenge for 1,000 books before Kindergarten will be added later this month. 

Families can also use the app to find upcoming summer reading events at their local library branch. For more information, contact your local branch.
