How do I get started?
Head to BEANSTACK to register from May 20 through July 31 for Summer Reading and record your books through Beanstack!  You can also use     the Beanstack app for Apple or Android devices.

If you’ve already created a Beanstack account for summer reading or the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Program, please use your original account—you can reset your password if you do not remember it.

Create an account on BEANSTACK by clicking “Register an Individual or Family.”
Parents and caregivers create their own accounts, then create and manage reading accounts for their children by clicking the arrow next to their name in the upper left-hand corner of the screen and then selecting “Add a Reader.”

Adults reading on their own should register themselves as an Individual.

If you have questions about creating an account or registering for Summer Reading, please call 770-532-3311, or email us at
libraryhelp@hallcountylibrary.org.
