Kids: Sign Up and Log Your Reading!
Kids ages birth to entering 4th grade (ages 0-9) can sign up for the program through our online tracker, Beanstack, or by asking at any Library location. For the duration of the program, track your hours spent reading using your Beanstack account or a paper log (available at all our Library locations).
Tweens, Teens, and Adults: Visit the Library!
Visit any Public Library of Brookline location and check out at least one item. Registration or logging your reading is not required for tweens, teens, or adults (ages 10+).
Redeem Your Activity for Prizes!
Show Library staff your reading log or check out an item to earn a spin on our prize wheel.
After signing up and for every five hours of reading, kids can earn a spin on our prize wheel. This year, there is no limit to the number of times kids can earn their five-hour wheel spins, so read up! Just remember to bring your reading log or track on Beanstack to redeem those prizes.
Tweens, Tweens, and Adults can participate in the program every time they visit the Library and check out an item- no registration required! Limit of one spin per person per day. Prizes may include: buttons, bookmarks, stickers, stationary, candy, a book/book voucher to the Friends of the Library Book Sale, and raffle tickets for our grand prize raffle for gift cards and large prizes. Please note that prizes may vary by location, for all ages.
