SRP Overview
The mission of the DOD MWR Libraries Summer Reading Program is to help families bridge the summer learning gap while inspiring literacy and lifelong learning for all ages.
Our Summer Reading Program is meant to encourage reading and exploration of the library. All ages can participate in the program for a chance to win prizes, experience some awesome events, and see a new side of the Whiteman Library!
The SRP is open to all ages but is divided into the following categories.
Ages 0-12: Participants in this age group may earn prizes for minutes read. Prizes are offered based on minutes read up to a maximum of 2,500 minutes (6 prizes total). Beanstack will send an email notification once new prizes are earned. Minutes read for this age category are cumulative and do not have a weekly requirement. Prizes are on a first come, first serve basis while supplies last. This means that not every participant may have the same prize options.
All participants age 12 & under who have earned 3 of the 6 Beanstack program activity badges by attending Wednesday Programs, will receive a program activity completion prize at the conclusion of the Summer Reading Program. While supplies last.
Ages 13-17: Teens who read a minimum of 100 minutes a week will be entered into the weekly prize drawing. In order to be entered into the weekly drawing, 100 minutes must be read and logged during that week. For the purposes of the drawing, minutes do not carry into the next week.
Drawings will be held on the following days: June 10, June 17, June 24, July 8, July 15, and July 22 (participants may only win one drawing).
Adults (ages 18+): Adults who read and log a minimum of 100 minutes during that week will be entered into a weekly prize drawing. For the purposes of the drawing, minutes do not carry into the next week.
Drawings will be held on the following days: June 10, June 17, June 24, July 8, July 15, and July 22 (participants may only win one drawing).
Participants 17 years of age or younger will receive a sign-up bag after registering through Beanstack. Participants must come into the library in person to pick up their bag. T-shirts (or sippy cups) will be provided for ages 0-17, while supplies last. If any prizes, shirts, or other items are lost or damaged, we cannot provide a replacement.
Participation in our weekly programs is required for the Wednesday Beanstack Program Activity badges. After participating in the Wednesday Program, participants will be given a Beanstack activity badge code. The codes are only active for 7 days and must be input into Beanstack before they expire to qualify for the Wednesday Beanstack Program Activity badge.
**ALL PRIZES AND EVENT ITEMS ARE SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE BASIS**
