Our Reading Challenges are run through Beanstack, an awesome app that makes logging easy. Visit atchisonlibrary.beanstack.org to create an account and join a challenge!

From Sep. 1 to Sep. 30, Atchison Public Library will participate in the “NASA’s Artemis Project: To the Moon, Mars, and Beyond!” reading challenge sponsored by the Space Science Institute. We challenge our patrons to read at least 600 minutes through the month of September and keep track of their reading during the challenge on our Beanstack site at atchisonlibrary.beanstack.org. Hundreds of libraries across the nation will be reading and learning alongside us for a chance to win circulation backpacks of STEM-related resources from the Space Science institute.

The Space Science Institute will award circulation backpacks with STEM-related resources to top performing libraries. Happy reading, Atchison!

Join us for our Adult Fall Reading Challenge.  From Sept 4th-Oct. 15th, read 4 books of your choice.  Just sign to register at atchisonlibrary.beanstack.org. Then log your books as you finish them.  Relax with a blanket and cup of hot chocolate and earn a chance at a prize.  Fall is a great time to burrow in and enjoy a good book.  A fireplace, hot drink and a great story, who could ask for more?  And a prize at the end isn't bad, either.
