The Livingston Parish Library’s Readers Club continued to grow in popularity in 2025, drawing more than 800 participants and eclipsing 28,000 logged books.
Readers Club is the Livingston Parish Library’s year-long reading challenge for adults (ages 18+). It runs from Jan. 1 - Dec. 31 of each year and awards participants for reaching reading milestones within that year. Participants can read or listen to books of their own choosing, and they can also complete Monthly Challenges based on a particular theme.
In 2025, approximately 840 LPL patrons registered for Readers Club, and they logged approximately 28,749 books, a single-year record. Readers Club members also completed 1,453 monthly challenges, another record for the system.
Since Readers Club was introduced in 2022, members have logged more than 91,000 books.
Registration is officially open for the 2026 Readers Club challenge, and patrons can register online or at their local Livingston Parish Library branch.
The Livingston Parish Library uses a web-based program called Beanstack to track progress for all its reading challenges, including Readers Club. Readers Club members must log their books into Beanstack for them to be counted. Rewards are given for the following milestones:
The 2026 theme for Readers Club is Color Me Read, with each month highlighting a different color!
This year, the Livingston Parish Library is thrilled to have Barnes & Noble (Juban Crossing) as a sponsor. 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.
The drawings are open to those who read and log a book based on that month’s theme.
