Register now for the Summer Reading Program!

BPL is going virtual this summer! Thanks to funding from the Bartlesville Friends of the Library, we are using a fun and efficient app called Beanstack! Beanstack will not only allow patrons to register for the Summer Reading Program from the comfort of home, but it will also allow you to independently log your weekly reading, complete activity challenges, unlock virtual badges, earn virtual tickets for REAL prizes, and check the schedule of events.
The Summer Reading Program is for all ages, as BPL will offer challenges and prize drawings for pre-readers, children, teens and adults. Participants just need to download the free Beanstack Tracker app onto a device or go to https://bartlesville.beanstack.org/ on a PC and follow the prompts to register, after which you will be able to access the appropriate programs, challenges and schedule of events. Contact library staff at 918-338-4170 for assistance. For those who may not have access from home, there will be a dedicated computer or tablet at the library for participants to use.
We also have a really great line-up of events planned for children and teens. However, these events are tentative as we continue to assess the Covid19 situation. Any adjustments, cancellations, or changes of format will be publicized on BPL’s website and social media platforms.
