Register starting June 1

Teens & Tweens, share your love of reading and win awesome PRIZES!  (For those entering Grades 6 – 12 in September)

It’s easy to join. Here are step-by-step instructions:

1.  Click here to register starting June 1. Registration is ongoing, so no worries if you don’t get a chance to register immediately. The program ends on August 17.
2.  Read any book you’d like – printed books, eBooks, and even audiobooks!
3. Log each book in Beanstack, and write a quick “30-Character or More Review” of what you’ve read.
4. For each book review, get an eTicket and enter a raffle for one of our fabulous gift baskets! Raffle tickets can be entered into the system for any of the prizes that you choose.
5. After the end of the Summer Reading Challenge (August 17), we will contact the raffle winners!

NOTE:  If you already have an Individual Account with Beanstack from last year (your own account, not your family’s Kids Summer Reading account), all you need to do is log into your individual account and update your info to register!  If you were in the Kids Summer Reading Challenge last year, you must create a new, individual account (separate from your family’s account) to participate in the Teens & Tweens Summer Reading Challenge.

Register by June 30 and enter to win one of our special early registration raffles:

• Gift certificate for a 2-hour rental of 2 kayaks through Paumanok Tours, plus book Paddling Long Island and New York City
• 4 free tickets to the American Museum of Natural History
• 4 free tickets to The Rinx (Hauppauge or Port Jeff)

And of course we have our regular raffle baskets! Click here for Frequently Asked Questions AND a listing of the raffle prizes!

How old do I have to be to join the Teens & Tweens Summer Reading Challenge?
