Winter Reading Challenge
Celebrate America’s 250th birthday, one minute at a time!
We encourage readers of all ages to honor 250 years of stories, innovation, and history this winter while filling up a virtual BINGO card! “Rise up” to the challenge to read 500 minutes from January 2 to February 14. Log your reading, earn fun badges, and help us celebrate the nation’s past, present, and future.
Track your progress on our Beanstack site at fairfieldpubliclibrary.beanstack.org. Earn fun winter badges and bonus prizes for logging your reading, completing activities, and submitting book reviews. Navigate to Badges > Activity Badges to enter your activity codes for scavenger hunts (Children), and events at the Library (All Ages), and more bonus fun to complete your BINGO card!
