The annual all-ages Winter Reading Challenge will run December 21, 2024, through January 31, 2025.

Beginning December 21, log in or register with Beanstack at btpl.beanstack.org. Then you’ll collect badges by logging your reading and completing activities. Each badge you collect earns you a ticket. Use your tickets to enter the prize drawings that interest you. Keep in mind that the challenge ends on January 31 so get all your logging in and tickets entered before then.

Visit btpl.org/winter for full details.
