Adult Summer Reading 2021

We invite you to explore Tails & Tales this Summer @ Goodnow

Due to COVID-19 and the need for social distancing, our Summer Reading Program has been re-imagined for Summer 2021. Registration and participation is now on Beanstack, our new online reading platform! Track your reading, earn badges and prizes this Summer @ Goodnow!

Here’s how it works:

Download the free Beanstack app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store to track your Summer Reading activity on-the-go.
  • Track Reading, Earn Badges & Win Prizes:  Track your reading and earn virtual reading badges to become a whale reader. What is a whale reader? Whale readers are those that read a ton of books…far more than the average person! Read and log a book once a week from one of the 8 reading challenge categories to be entered into weekly drawing of a $10 gift card to local businesses. Complete all of the categories and read a total of 8 books to be entered for the grand prize drawing of a $100 gift card!
