Now is the Time to Enroll in the HSLC Beanstack Plus Discount Program!

Join Beanstack Plus now and your library gains FREE access to two forthcoming features, reading fundraisers and BINGO challenges. Reading fundraisers allow you to run readathons directly in Beanstack to fundraise for your library or community organizations.

Beanstack Plus helps librarians motivate their communities to read more through reading challenges. The intuitive web software and highly rated mobile app help patrons track reading and create sustained reading habits, while giving librarians a full suite of customization options and robust, real-time data.

Beanstack Plus includes:

Hundreds of timely, ready-made, and fully customizable challenge templates that make it easy to create year-round reading engagement.
Cutting-edge gamification features proven to boost engagement, like reading streaks, friends and leaderboards, and global achievement badges.
Integration with your library catalog to deliver personalized book recommendations directly to readers.
...and much more!

HSLC must submit orders to Zoobean no later than March 31, 2022, therefore you must approve your quote by that date.
