June 15 - August 7, 2020
The Sturm Memorial Library Summer Library Program

Summer reading is a fun program designed to engage all age groups in exploring new ideas, books, and activities. This program is free and there are no fees for any of the events or activities.  As you read books and engage in the activities, you are eligible to win badges and earn books and drawing entries. The best way to track your progress is through the Beanstack app or web site.  Beginning June 15, 2020, you can start recording your reading time and participate in the activities, located in Beanstack. (We will provide paper records for our patrons that do not have access to Beanstack. Stop at the library to pick one up or print one with the links below.)

How do I Start?
To get the most out of your summer reading experience, we recommend that you create a Beanstack account.  Parents can also create accounts for their children.  In Beanstack, you can view the available activities, enter the books you have read, write book reviews and more.  As you progress you will earn badges and be entered into a drawing at the end of the summer. To register, visit the Beanstack website or login through the app.
Any prizes earned must be picked up in person at 130 N. Bridge Street, Manawa WI.

Beanstack app available for iOS and Android.

Beanstack will automatically direct you to the appropriate activities based on your age.  There are four age groups: 0-6, 7-11, 12-17 and 18+. If you wish to be contacted about prizes and drawings, please include an email address or telephone number as part of your Beanstack profile.
