Where We Come From

It’s time for our Winter Reading Challenge in conjunction with Beanstack. Every person has a rich history and unique stories to tell — dive deeper into your own this winter! Explore topics like family, history, and identity through reading and completing activities.

The challenge begins December 18. Track your progress online, in the Beanstack app (App store or Google Play), print a bingo card or pick one up in the library. All ages can join in the fun. Earn badges for logging minutes or books read, completing activities, submitting book reviews, and earning bingo.

Complete the challenge by January 31, 2023 to be entered in the prize drawings. Earn one entry per badge earned or activity completed on your BINGO sheet. If you complete all activities for a blackout, you’ll have 25 total entries. Prizes include gift cards to Amazon, All Out Rampage, Dragon’s Lair Family Adventure Center, The Iowa Children’s Museum, or Spare Time. Each individual will designate how many entries to enter in which drawings.

Happy Winter Reading!
