Frequently Asked Questions
How do I sign up?
Do audiobooks count?
Of course! If it’s on the main floor, except for movies and periodicals, it is fair game for your reading log. Fiction, non-fiction, large-print fiction, audio books, you name it. Inter-library loans count, too! Basically, almost everything.
How do I win one of the weekly prizes?
To be entered into the drawing for a weekly prize (one of the nine listed above), just complete a simple quiz or puzzle! These quizzes are designed to take less than ten minutes to complete and can be picked up from the Circulation Desk.
Each quiz gives you one entry into the drawing. Complete each quiz for more chances to win! Also, every five books you read earns one weekly prize drawing and one grand prize drawing.
How do I win the grand prize?
For every five books or audiobooks logged in Beanstack, you will receive a virtual weekly prize ticket and a grand prize ticket. The more books you log, the more entries you receive for prizes.
Is there a minimum number of books I have to read?
No. You can sign up, read three or four books, and then call it a day. There aren’t any requirements other than a library card. To be entered to win a prize, though, you must read — and log — at least five books.
When is the last day to enter the drawing?
The Adult Winter Read is from January 19 to March 13, 2021. You can sign up or enter the drawing at any point between those dates. Books read before January 19, 2021 and after March 13, 2021 do not count towards the program.
