The Summer Reading Challenge is now over! Thanks to everyone who participated! Anyone who still has badges or prizes to collect can do so for the next few weeks.
In total we had 1,341 readers (1,106 last year) and read 41,675 books (34,837 last year)!
Open to kids, teens and adults, Millburn Library’s 2023 Summer Reading Challenge was All Together Now. Earn raffle tickets for logging the books you read this summer, and put them into weekly drawings to have a chance at our weekly prizes! The Challenge is run via the Beanstack app.
Last year we had over 1,106 readers, who logged 34,837 books— think you can help us beat that in 2023?
The Summer Reading Challenge is generously supported by the Friends of the Millburn Library.
Log all your books right on the app, no need to drop off logs at the Library. You’ll also be able to spend your raffle tickets right in the app as well.

Check out the latest bestsellers, graphic novels, magazines, and eBooks in every genre! (And make sure to place Holds on your next reads so they’re ready when you are!)
Browse and place holds on books right on your phone! You can even scan the ISBN of a book you find anywhere to find a free copy in the library system instead to read. Download the BCCLS Libraries app from Apple or Google Play app store and sign in with your library barcode number.
Any of our kid readers are free to print out a paper log to track their books— teens & adults can log into their Beanstack app to record their books.
Paper Log
No problem— head on over to NoveList, the best way to find great new reads. Try the Appeal search engine, where you can find books by things like writing-style, tone, and characters. Maybe the classic Theme (genre) browser is best for you, which has great lists of books by sub-genre. Or just look up your favorites and check out the read-alike lists, which suggest books that are similar.
In addition to our Libby app, you can also download the Hoopla app, which provides not just audiobooks & eBooks, but also graphic novels & comics, including ones for young readers. Best of all, with Hoopla there’s no wait— check out up to 15 items per month and get instant access to them.
