There are four different age groups <strong>0-5 Family Literacy<\/strong>, <strong>6-11 Kids<\/strong>, <strong>12-19 Teens<\/strong>, <strong>19+ Adults. <\/strong>These four programs are very similar, so they are easy to navigate, but they are all appropriate for the specific age group they serve.<\/li>\n<li>Kids 0-19 will earn a free book when they register for the summer reading program through Beanstack.<\/li>\n<li>Besides reading this summer, there are other activities that you can do. These are called challenge badges.<\/li>\n<li>Doing activities and reading both earn tickets that can be used to earn digital tickets toward grand prizes. There are three grand prizes for each category (0-19). <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1_mbz1jB9kmS2PN56kGMoB0C6KDdN5VkdTSnlmsi0i0o\/edit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">View them here for ages! <\/a><\/li>\n<li>To complete the challenge, you have to unlock 15 badges. Each person can determine which 15 they want to take on. Upon completion, ages 0-19 earn a backpack full of books, school supplies and toys.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/nateandrachael.com\/terrehaute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/Imagine-Your-Story6-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/li>\n<li>There are special prizes that you have a chance to earn in addition to free books, backpacks, and grand prizes.
