Make a warm drink, cozy up under a blanket and grab a good book, the Winter Reading Challenge is back.

Unlike our signature summer program for kids, this one is for the grown ups. And because everybody likes a reward now and then, we have prizes.

The challenge is going on now and runs through March 17, 2024.

All you have to do is read!

All your Winter Reading can be recorded in our Beanstack app, available for free in your device’s app store. If your child already has a Beanstack account, you’ll need to create a separate one just for yourself. You’ll see your progress and use the app to submit your book reviews and get entered to win.

Not sure what to read or want something new? Check out our MatchBook service! (And pick it up at curbside! Or have it delivered to your door!)

Earn badges and extra entries by completing challenges, such as reading a recommended book. Any book review submitted is an entry for a prize.

Wait, did you say prizes?

Yes!

We’re giving away prizes monthly this year, plus grand prizes at the end.

Monthly, we are giving away gift cards to great local businesses such as Mini Delights Bake Shoppe, The Electric Brew, The Vine and Old Style Deli.

The grand prizes are;

• A Nintendo Switch,
• A family pass to Wellfield Botanic Gardens, or
• A Stanley Tumbler

Sign up now on Beanstack and get ready for the EPL Winter Reading Challenge!
