Plant a Seed, Read with our 2026 Summer Reading Program!

Pre-registration opens on June 15th, with the reading challenges opening on June 22nd!

Set your goal. Share it with friends & family. Challenge each other to see who will read the most! There are challenges designed for all ages and abilities!   

Our challenges measure minutes spent reading or being read to. Read what you enjoy best: Books, e-books, audio books, magazines or newspapers all count!

Sign up  through Beanstack!

1. Go to:  https://watervillelibrary.beanstack.org/
2. Create a user account and add reader accounts for each person participating.
3. Log minutes read to unlock electronic badges! 

Don’t have a computer or smart phone for logging into Beanstack? Paper logs will be available. 

Log the number of minutes each time you read (or read to your child). A digital badge is earned every 600 minutes/ 10 hours. Everyone who completes all three reading goals is automatically registered for a grand prize drawing in their age bracket, to be held at the end of the summer.  

Keep it kind! Make it fun! Will you be the “top” seed?
