Throughout the year the Champaign County Library offers programs to encourage all ages to read. Active challenges will be listed here. Paper entries are available at the library or you can log your reading through Beanstack.
Current programs:
2025 Color Our World Kids Reading Program
1000 Books Before Kindergarten
2025 Adult Year-Long Reading Club
If you have already registered for Beanstack, you can continue to use the same account from previous years. If not, registration is easy. An adult will register and then add "readers" so each person in their family will have their own account. Teens are able to also create their own account. Beanstack will automatically direct you to the appropriate activities based on your age. There may be times that multiple challenges will be available at once. Beanstack is available online or through their Beanstack Tracker App from Zoobean (available in your app store).
Reading programs allow families and readers of all ages to log and read books for prizes and badges. These programs are offered through Beanstack, which is our free online service that offers book and activity logging, recommendations and book reviews. Beanstack will automatically direct you to the appropriate activities based on your age. Show us how much you love to read by participating in one of our programs!
Along with the reading portion, the library also offers free programs for all ages. Check out our online event calendar to view all library activities!
