June 1 - August 10, 2024 

Start your reading adventure this summer by joining our summer reading program! It's fun and you can earn prizes and raffle chances for larger prizes simply by reading! Only 10 hours to complete the program! Books, eBooks, Audiobooks, eAudiobooks, newspapers, and magazines all count! Ready to get started? 

How it works:

• Three age categories:
  • Children (Ages birth-11 years)
  • Young Adults/Teens (12-17 years)
  • Adults (18+)
• Sign up for Summer Reading
  • Sign up online through Beanstack on the web or by downloading the free Beanstack Mobile Tracker app on your smart device. Please note: If you had an account last year, you may continue to use that account. When you complete your logging on Beanstack you get extra raffle chances for Unified Sussex Summer Reading prizes valued at approximately $50.00. 
  • Looking to unplug? No problem, you can download and print the paper log below or stop into the library and pick up a paper reading log. Please note: logging online gives you access to the Unified Sussex Beanstack raffle chances. But if completing on paper, you will still get some prizes through us!
  • Read 10 hours (600 minutes) to complete the challenge! Of course, the more you read the more raffle chances you can acquire through Benstack! Turn in your completed paper log to us, or come to the front desk if logging online to retrieve your prize.
