Winter Reading Club

Posted on 10 December 2020 in Events

We’re trying something new this year and holding a Winter Reading Club challenge! As we did in the summer, this will be held 100% online through Beanstack.

How It Works

Adults and kids have the same Winter Reading goals: read 4 books to complete the challenge and win your bag of goodies! (Some of the goodies were made in our own Makerspace!)

Audiobooks and ebooks count as well as physical books, so be sure to check out what’s available on Hoopla and OverDrive/Libby to find your next read.

If you want physical books, you can still check books out using our Curbside Pickup service by either reserving the books you want using our online catalog, or calling us at 812-285-5630 and letting us know what you’d like to reserve.

Both the Adult and Youth Winter Reading Clubs run from December 10, 2020 – January 31, 2021 on Beanstack.

Get the app

Starting this Winter, our patrons can use Beanstack’s mobile app to make tracking reading even easier!

  1. Download the Beanstack Tracker App for your iOS (iPhone) or Android device
  2. When asked “Does your School, Library, or Bookstore use Beanstack?” tap Yup!
  3. Tap the search bar to “Find a Site” and search for “Jeffersonville Township Public Library”
  4. Sign in with your Beanstack account or sign up if you don’t have an account yet

Need Help?

If you forgot your Beanstack password or need any help using the site or app, call us at 812-285-5630 or use our Ask A Librarian online form and we’ll help you out!

Summer Reading Club & Cultural Pass

Posted on 2 June 2020 in Events

It’s June and that means it’s time for the Summer Reading Club AND the Cultural Pass! Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all of these challenges will be held 100% online this year through Beanstack.

Summer Reading Club

Adults and kids have the same Summer Reading goals this year: read 4 books to complete the challenge and be entered into the grand prize drawings! Audiobooks and ebooks count as well as physical books, so be sure to check out what’s available on Hoopla and OverDrive/Libby to find your next read. Both the Adult and Youth Summer Reading Clubs run from June 1 – August 1, 2020 on Beanstack.

Cultural Pass

The Cultural Pass is available again this summer for kids ages 0-21, from June 1 – August 8, and this year it’s virtual! That means instead of coming to the library to pick up a physical pass and going to the museum in person, you use Beanstack to go to the museum’s website and do fun activities from home. Here’s how you can participate:

  1. Log in to your Beanstack account and register for the 2020 Virtual Cultural Pass challenge
  2. Click on the grey badge icon for the venue you want to “visit”
  3. On the venue’s badge description, click on the link to go to a special Cultural Pass page on their website
  4. Do whatever fun activity is on the venue’s website!
  5. Come back to Beanstack and go to the venue’s badge again
  6. Write a short sentence about what you learned or thought about the activity
  7. Click the check boxes to say you did the activity and wrote the sentence

That’s it! Your badge for that venue will then automatically “light up” with color to show you’ve earned that badge!
