Current Reading Challenge

Join us on Beanstack in June and July for our annual Summer Library Club. Visit our SLC page for all the details.

This year's theme is "Adventure Begins at Your Library!"

SLC is an 8 week program (June 1 - July 31) for all ages at all KCPL locations. Designed to be a fun activity for the entire family, the goal of the program is to develop and build literacy skills for young readers while establishing a lifetime love of reading and learning for readers of any age.

Once registered, readers log books, attend events, and complete activities to earn goodies and entries toward Grand Prize drawings awarded at the end of the summer.

Beginning June 1, register on Beanstack or with a paper log available at any location. Used Beanstack before? Use your existing account again! Visit any location for one-on-one assistance.

Let's Get Started!

A reading challenge is a fun way to challenge yourself to read more, or to read books on a new topic that you may not have considered before! Beanstack allows readers to register for challenges available to their age group, log their reading, and track their progress.

Reading challenge themes range from our annual Summer Library Club to Mental Health Awareness Month. Sometimes we even host movie-watching or writing challenges. There’s something for everyone!

Create a Beanstack account and watch the library calendar for challenge announcements. When a challenge is available for your age group, register and track your progress as you go.
