Children’s Program
May 25 – July 31, 2025
Birth – 2 years
It is never too early to start reading to your child. Reading every day is a great way for you and your baby to bond. When you have read a total of 30 books in the month of June, your baby can get their first prize. Once you have read 30 books in total in the month of July you will be able to win their second prize. You can keep track of the number of books you have read through Beanstack.
3 years – 6th grade
Summer Reading is fun and simple. No keeping track of books! No keeping track of minutes. The only requirement to earn a weekly prize is to read every day, and the best part…you can read anything you want! Our goal is to get kids into the habit of reading. Prizes can also be earned just by visiting the library and signing up for our weekly raffle. A free book can be picked up if you finish your blackout bingo page that comes with your registration bag.

So how do you sign up?
We use Beanstack online software to keep track of reading.
You can sign up for an account:

- On a computer, go to our Beanstack website: basehorlibrary.beanstack.com or click on the Reading Challenges link, located at the top of this page.
- Register an Individual or Family. Beanstack allows families to be linked together, so all family members can be accessed with one login. Fill in your info!
- Click on the “Register for a Program Button” for each individual reading program.
If you made an account last year for summer reading, then you can use that same one!
