Read City Group Resources

Welcome! With help from groups like yours, we will meet Mayor Jacobs' 2023 challenge to "go platinum" by reading one million hours. When your group completes a challenge, each participant will earn "note"-worthy prizes (see below).

The 2023 reading challenges begin January 24. Check back for updated information and make sure to join the Find Your Voice challenge in Beanstack after you've registered your group.

It's easy to record your group's reading time with Beanstack tracking software. To get started, register your group.

1. Go to knoxlib.beanstack.org 
2. Choose Register a Class or Group 
3. Decide if you’re all going to be reading together (All at one time) or independently (Individually) 
4. Complete the Registration form with your group information  

When you’re ready to record your time, you can sign in to Beanstack in your browser, or in the app on your mobile phone. (Download for free from the App Store or Google Play.)

1. Choose Log Reading at the top left corner. 
2. If you’ve chosen to log group members individually, make sure you log for each person.

Find Your Voice materials are coming soon! Please check back when the challenge launches to request or print your own reading logs, activities, and more.

Join Jennifer to decide how to track reading for your group, register and log for a group reading together (all at once), or register and log for a group reading individually (independent readers).
