Reading Challenge

                                                                                          

This summer the Librarians at O'Neal Library want to challenge you to Spice Up Your Life! We have some fun ways to get you started with this challenge: 

  • You will log badges by reading and/or listening to books, watching movies or documentaries, learning new things, or doing other activities. The badges you earn equal an entry into a weekly drawing for summer reading prizes including gift cards to Mountain Brook businesses, and items related to our events like cookbooks, a mortar and pestle, and more! One badge = one entry into our weekly drawing.  Weekly drawings held on Mondays for the previous week will award a prize to one registrant. The more badges patrons earn, the more chances they have to win a weekly prize.  
  • To track your progress in our challenge, and to be eligible for prizes, make sure you sign up for our Summer Reading Challenge on Beanstack. Find the Beanstack Tracker app on the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. 
  • This challenge is open to anyone 18-118. Challenge begins June 1 and ends August 15.
