All Ages Program
Every summer, we host our popular summer reading program for children and teens, Shaker Reads.
Instructions
Mark off every day you read, either in Beanstack or on your paper tracker.
We encourage reading (or being read to) for at least 20 minutes a day. All forms of reading, including audiobooks and comics, count.
When you’ve earned a badge, come to either Shaker Library branch to pick up your prize.
Earn badges at 15, 30, 45, and 60 days of reading. Anyone who reads for 30 days completes the program and receives the grand prize, a tote bag and a book!
Beanstack
If you’re using Beanstack, you can sign up and log reading digitally in your internet browser.

15 days of reading: A Shaker Reads decal for your water bottle or notebook.
30 days of reading (completion): Your choice of tote bag and a book to add to your home library.
45 days of reading: A coupon for a freebie at Donatos.
60 days of reading: A coupon to Ellie May’s Gourmet Cookies.
Raffle Baskets
Each time you complete a milestone and earn a badge, you earn an entry to our raffle drawing. Choose which prize you want your drawing entry to go toward by telling the librarian at the desk or selecting a basket on Beanstack.
