First, sign up for the challenge on Beanstack at cc-pl.org/beanstack. Participants will earn one badge for each book they read in the STEAM categories (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). Earn up to five badges, each of which gets participants an entry in a drawing for a prize.
Adults, teens and children can all get in on the fun! There will be one prize given per age group.

Ongoing Challenges
1,000 Books Before Kindergarten
The library’s 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program is a fun and exciting way to start your child on the path to success! It’s open to all children from newborn to five years, and participation is free.
Children receive a prize and sticker for every 100 books read to them. If your child completes the program, they are encouraged to complete it a second time!
Does it sound hard? If you read just one book at night, you will have read about 365 books in a year; that’s 1,095 in just three years.
Learn more about the program on the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten page.
