Summer Reading 2026
Join us for our 2026 Summer Reading Challenge for kids from age 0 - grade 6 this summer at the Chelmsford Public Library!
- Create an account in Beanstack (individual or family) or download the free Beanstack Tracker app on the iOS App Store or Google Play (and then search Chelmsford Public Library) to register yourself or your family and log your reading!
- For every day that you read, check it off on our Beanstack calendar either in the app or on your desktop. Earn a badge for every 7 days of reading that you log, and come collect a fun Summer Reading button or sticker to add to your collection!
- It doesn't matter what you read, but we encourage you to read for at least 20 minutes a day - that can be together, alone, or listening to an audiobook!
- And don't forget to check out our activity badges! You can earn extra buttons or stickers by completing fun library-related activities
