How do I use the Beanstack App?

Beanstack, the website FCPL uses to track Summer Challenge participants, developed a free app for iOS and Android users. Login with your Beanstack username and password. If you do not know your password, visit fcpl.beanstack.org and click “sign in” and then “I forgot my password.” You can then use the app to track your days read or destinations visited while on the go. The app can record reading sessions to keep track of what you are reading; scan ISBN barcodes to quickly add titles to your log; manage family reading logs - mark reading for all or some members of your family at once! Any logging in the app will automatically be tied to your progress in Summer Challenge. The app also requires an internet connection.

Is there a way that I can see how my children are participating online?

Yes. When you are signing up a family, we recommend registering the adult first and then adding the children as “readers,” so there is one login with multiple associated readers. It’s much easier to keep track of what everyone under your account is doing, and logging information is very simple, too.

You can also “Share” a reader with another person. Sharing gives family, teachers, and friends access to a profile's recommendations, reading log, completed activities, and badges. This can be useful for keeping them up-to-date or giving them the opportunity to collaborate. Share a profile by clicking on "Edit Reader" from the drop down menu next to the Reader’s name at the top and following the instructions for “Share this reader.”
