It’s that time of year! Students are shopping for notebooks, pens and pencils, and BCLS is ready to help them prepare for a successful new school year. This year’s Back-To-School Challenge runs from Sept. 1 to Sept. 30 and it’s easy to get started.

Simply log into your existing Beanstack account or create one, either online or with Beanstack’s mobile app available for free through the App Store or Google Play. The mobile app features a barcode scanner to log books for all readers in the family on one account.

Ready to head back to the classroom? We challenge you to ease the transition from beach days and barbeques by completing our program. Earn different digital badges by reading books and writing book reviews, or completing activities like reading outside, listening to music, trying out a new craft or recipe, and more. Why not get started before the school bus arrives? Have fun, and have a great school year!
