How do I get started?
Head to BEANSTACK to register for Summer Reading Challenges from May 22 through July 30 and record your books through online!

If you’ve already created a Beanstack account for summer reading or the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Program, please use your original account—you can reset your password if you do not remember it.

You can also get the Beanstack Tracker App for iPhone or Android. When you register through the app, be sure to say you are participating through a library and select the Hall County Library System!

Create an account on the BEANSTACK website by clicking “Register an Individual or Family.”
Parents and caregivers create their own accounts, then create and manage reading accounts for their children by clicking the arrow next to their name in the upper left-hand corner of the screen and then selecting “Add a Reader.”

Adults reading on their own should register themselves as an Individual.

If you have questions about creating an account or registering for Summer Reading, please call 770-532-3311, or email us at
libraryhelp@hallcountylibrary.org.
