How to participate in Readers Club  

To participate in Readers Club, you must:   

  • Create a Beanstack account: Signing up is easy and can be done by visiting any LPL branch or going to www.mylpl.info 
  • Read or listen to any book: There are no reading requirements, so read or listen to any book you want!
  • Log your book into Beanstack: Don’t forget to log your book to get your “Logging Badge,” which is how we keep track of everyone’s progress!

Monthly Challenge 

Along with reading or listening to books of their choosing, Readers Club participants may also complete Monthly Challenges based on a particular theme! 

Here’s how you can complete a Monthly Challenge:  

  • Read one (1) book pertaining to that month’s theme 
  • Log in to your Beanstack account 
  • Log your associated book on the Activity Badge for the month (logging must take place within the dates for the badge to earn it)      

Color Me Read

Get ready to dive into a vibrant world of literature with the Readers Club theme for 2026: Color Me Read. This exciting theme invites participants to explore the colorful spectrum of books, from vivid fantasies and thrilling mysteries to heartfelt memoirs and insightful non-fiction. 

Each month in 2026 will feature a different color. To complete the Monthly Challenge, read and log a book with a cover in that month’s color or word in the title that relates to that color.  

Example: February’s theme is Dark Blue, so read a book with a dark blue cover (such as Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover), or read a book with blue in the title (James Patterson’s Violets are Blue). 

Monthly Drawings 

We are thrilled to have Barnes & Noble (Juban Crossing) as a sponsor for 2026 Readers Club! As part of this sponsorship, Barnes & Noble will donate a $25 gift card each month that will be the raffle prize for those who complete that month's Monthly Challenge. This gift card can be used at any Barnes & Noble location or www.barnesandnoble.com.  

You must complete the Monthly Challenge to be in the drawing for the Barnes & Noble gift card.
