Pledged readers are heading to HEBreads.org to register for a summer book binge that promises prizes for every milestone they hit, with the ultimate goal of accumulating 2000 minutes of reading time, according to the City of Euless.
For those eager to start tallying their minutes, the Beanstack Tracker app is the way to go—it lets participants log their reading exploits, and it's available without costing a dime on the Apple App Store and Google Play, once signed up through the Beanstack website, that's how you can keep track of every page turned, every chapter concluded, and the Beanstack website is just a click away from the program's homepage.
Each new plateau in the page-turning marathon nets readers a little something to show for their efforts, starting small with a reading bracelet and charm at just 250 minutes and ratcheting up to full-on bragging rights with shiny HEB Reads! medal upon hitting the 2000-minute mark. Prizes span from local treats and discounts to an aquatic pass, making sure there's more than just literary fulfillment on the line.
The Euless Public Library is sweetening the deal for local bookworms, doling out STEM Kits to those quick on their feet to register—an offer standing while the supplies last and kids looking to snag a prize can swing by the Mary Lib Saleh Euless Public Library to collect their literary loot.
