Nashville Public Library’s all-ages Summer Reading Challenge returns Sunday, June 1 and runs through Thursday, July 31.
Here’s the gist: Log 15 days of reading or complete 10 bookish activities (think: revisiting a childhood fave or checking out a new-to-you library branch) at a time. Each milestone earns a local coupon or branch trading card — plus a shot at a $150 bookstore gift card.
How to get started
- Register on the Beanstack app via NPL’s website or keep track with a paper version that doubles as a coloring sheet.
- Log your days read and track activities completed.
- Redeem your coupons + get entries for the gift card drawings.
A library card isn’t required to participate, and those who register will receive a reusable bag — you know, to carry all your library books.
Need ideas? Treat your shelf to one of these books written by authors with Nashville ties, and check out this summer’s most-anticipated releases, according to Goodreads.
