Ready to zoom through books like a reading machine? Gear up for Beanstack’s “Be a Reading Machine” winter reading challenge, sponsored by Baker & Taylor! 

This January, we invite all libraries and schools across North America to join our eighth annual winter reading challenge, featuring our latest obsession—book vending machines, including our partnership with Baker & Taylor, through which readers can earn books as prizes! As we kick off the new year with fresh resolutions, we remind readers that the journey of reading is fun and rewarding for all ages. Participants will earn exciting new badges for logging minutes, completing activities, and earning bingo. Join us and gear up for an unforgettable reading adventure!

Ready, set, read!
