Lincoln City Libraries (LCL) today announced that the "Imagine Your Story" Summer Reading Challenge has been extended to August 12. The challenge was originally scheduled to end in July. All age groups who complete the challenge can earn coupons for free food, fun activities, and discounts on books and other treats. Due to the pandemic, no in-person events are being held and a schedule of virtual events is available at lincolnlibraries.org.
Participants can earn a ticket for every five hours of reading to enter a Beanstack online drawing for prize packages. Children, teens and adults who complete 10 hours of reading and eight of the 16 reading activities are eligible for grand prizes awarded via random drawings:
- Amazon Fire HD10 Kids Edition: ages 0 through 11
- Nintendo Switch Lite: ages 12 through 18
- Kindle Fire HD10: ages 19 and older
To register, visit lincolnlibraries.beanstack.org/reader365 or use the Beanstack Mobile Tracker app, which is available for both Apple and Android devices. To qualify for the challenge and be eligible for prizes, reading times must be recorded on the Beanstack site by August 12, 2020. The deadline to pick up completion coupons is September 1. Prize drawings will take place the first week in September.
