Event Details
Celebrate America's 250th birthday in 2026 with the library in the best way we know how - by reading! Read a book that matches our America 250 theme every month and earn a virtual Beanstack badge. If you prefer a paper log, visit any participating branch library to pick up an America 250 bookmark and commemorative sticker to mark your journey as you read along with us this year.
Fill up your Beanstack challenge with badges or your paper log with stickers and earn a commemorative prize at the end of the year.
Each month, log into your account on Beanstack for the release of the new theme. Also visit our website at kcpls.org/reading-challenge for the new theme and reading recommendations.
