Be a reading machine

Be a reading machine

We have our next Beanstack reading challenge running 1 July – 31 July.  People can register from now and it is open to ages 0-109.

Ready, set, READ! We encourage readers of all ages to challenge themselves to become reading machines this winter. From July. 1-31, Waikato District Libraries is participating in “Be a Reading Machine,” a reading challenge sponsored by Beanstack. Log your reading minutes to earn badges on your virtual bingo card!

We challenge our community to read and log at least six badges during the challenge.

For logging your minutes read, you will earn fun, new badges. And don’t forget to earn bingo! The top-performing libraries will even win special prizes for their library and they'll be a spot prize voucher for one lucky reader!

Happy reading, bookworms!

Beanstack challenge: Read 24 books in 2024!

Read 25 books in 2025!

Are you ready to grow your reading habit with our 2025 Reading Challenge?

Join the challenge! Explore your library and all the fun reading has to offer! Log your reading throughout the year to earn new badges and if you complete the challenge you'll be in to win!
