Reading Challenge
Join us on Beanstack in March for our Women's History Month Reading Challenge! This month, we challenge you to read one book written by a female author or illustrated by a female artist. You can also dive into nonfiction by reading a book about an important moment in women's history or a biography about an influential woman in history. Finish the challenge to earn a KCPL fidget pen. Prizes are available for pick-up at any branch library location while supplies last.
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.
