Go to Beanstack

 

Used for various Adams County Libraries' programs, Beanstack is the go-to source for logging and discovering books, tracking your reading, and participating in reading challenges and activities.

While this source is used for programs such as SummerQuest and 1000 Books Before Kindergarten, you can track your reading at any time.

Follow the steps on this page for tips and tutorials on using Beanstack!

 

Before You Begin

To take full advantage of all our services, we encourage everyone to obtain an Adams County Library Card.  If you need a library card, submit an online form and we will send you your card as soon as possible!

 

Create an Account

Create an account online or on mobile via the Beanstack Tracker App (available from the Apple Store or Google Play Store).  If registering from the mobile app, be sure to search for "Adams County Library System" to locate our libraries's programs.

Tip: If you have an existing account but are having difficulty logging in, try using the last 4 or six digits of your library card as your password.

After you create an account, you now have access to all of the Adams County Libraries' Beanstack challenges!
