Summer/Winter Reading Challenges
The Lincoln Public Library offers Reading Challenge programs for school-aged children during the summer and winter. Readers will use Beanstack (online or by downloading the Beanstack app) to keep track of their minutes read, and earn prizes based on the number of hours they log! Access our current reading challenges here: Lincoln Library on Beanstack.
