Imagine Your Story Online Summer Reading Program
Summer
Reading Club is going VIRTUAL this year!
June
14 – August 31, 2020
In
response to our ever changing world and in an effort to keep our patrons and
staff safe and engaged, the Pleasant Hills Library is excited to be offering
virtual programming
AND a virtual summer reading club.
Pleasant
Hills Library is excited to offer a virtual summer reading club for ALL AGES using
Beanstack! Register your entire family using either a web browser or the
Beanstack Tracker app (available to download for FREE via Google
Play or the Apple App
Store).
When you register, make sure you select “Pleasant Hills Public
Library” as the library you visit most often (this question determines which one
of the Allegheny County Library’s program you will participate in).
You can
also call the Pleasant Hills Library at 412-655-2424 and our staff will register
your family for you!
Registration is open now but you won’t be able to log until
June 14.
This year our
Summer Reading Club will run a bit differently than it has in the past.
Everyone, regardless of age and reading ability, will keep track of the time
spent reading and/or listening. Log the time you spend reading and/or listening
every week in Beanstack, starting June 14 and running through August 31, to be
entered into weekly drawings for electronic gift cards!
Read one hour each week
for one entry! Read two hours each week for two entries! You decide when to log
– do it once a week or every day – it’s up to you! Unfortunately you won’t be
able to get more than two entries based on time spent reading each week BUT you
can earn more entries by completing various activity badges!
This year we’re
offering a huge variety of activity badges that challenge you to imagine, connect,
create, explore and more!
Each time you complete an activity badge, you earn
another entry into that week’s drawings!
So
how does this work for children who aren’t reading yet?
They will keep track of
and be rewarded for listening!
Older children and adults who read aloud to
younger children can keep track of and be rewarded for the time spent reading aloud
as well as time they read to themselves!
Prefer audiobooks? No problem! Keep
track of the time you spend listening and get rewarded!
Are you listening to an
audiobook as a family? Everyone gets to log that time!
We want everyone to
enjoy reading and be rewarded for their efforts, whether they are reading
solo
or with their family!
If
you cannot access Beanstack, or prefer non-digital means of participation,
please call
the Pleasant Hills Library at 412-655-2424 and our staff will
happily help you
register, log, and participate in all the fun!
We’re
excited to help you Imagine Your Story during our 2020 Summer Reading Club!
