Join the Summer Reading Challenge & Help Reach 3,000 Hours!
Calling all book lovers, cozy readers, and audiobook bingers—Cary Library just launched its Summer Reading Challenge, and I’m officially in! 🎉
From June 14 to August 30, the library is inviting all ages in our community to help reach a collective goal of 3,000 hours read this summer. You set your own reading goal, log your minutes, and your time counts toward the big total. Easy, fun, and totally motivating!
⭐How It Works
-
Set your own goal — 24 hours? 100+? You decide!
-
Track your reading — Any book, format, or genre counts
-
Use Beanstack — Log your time online at carylibrary.beanstack.org or on the Beanstack app
-
Prefer paper? — Grab a printable Reading Log here (PDF)
Whether you read for 20 minutes a day or binge audiobooks all weekend, your reading matters!
⭐What Counts?
-
Physical books
-
E-books & audiobooks
-
Magazines, cookbooks, and more
-
Any language, any format!
Psst… this is a great time to chip away at that TBR pile or join a themed reading challenge from Mass Center for the Book.
⭐Who Can Join
Anyone in the Lexington/Boston area can sign up—and there are special challenges just for kids and teens too:
⭐Joy's Tip
Keep a book by your bed, one in your bag, and one in your ears (hi, audiobooks!). It makes hitting your goal feel effortless.
⭐Easy to Make Recipes
💻 Build Your Own Blog
I built my blog with Webador and love how easy it is to use. No tech skills needed—just drag, drop, and go!
It’s beginner-friendly, mobile-ready, and you can even start for free. Perfect if you’ve been thinking about launching your own blog or small shop.
