How to Participate
- Register on Beanstack to get ready to track your reading online beginning June 3. If you've used Beanstack for past reading clubs, you don't need to create a new profile. Need help registering? Call us at 847-720-3250.
- Beginning Friday, June 3, pick up your paper reading log at the Children's desk and a sheet of stickers to track your reading wherever you are. Want to print the log at home? Download it here.
- Read at least 20 minutes a day for 10 days, and you'll receive a ticket in Beanstack for a chance to win a bonus prize. Keep reading for more tickets and more chances to win.
- Complete 30 days of reading and you'll win a prize book!
Summer Reading Club prizes are made possible by a generous gift from The Friends of the Library.

Play 'Out & About with Scout!'
Scout, our new Summer Reading Club mascot, will be "visiting" stores and business all around Park Ridge this summer. Scout will be on the move each week so check in the library or below for the clue on her new location. Once you have found Scout, stop by the Children's desk to fill out a raffle ticket for a chance to win prizes picked out by Scout!
Clue for June 24 to June 30
Into the WOODS our Scout did walk,
Hoping to hear WILD birds in NATURE talk!
