FAQ
The Adult Summer Reading Club does not have a Beanstack component this year. Come on in to any branch to pick-up a paper passport and then drop it off any any location once finished.
Community partners will have a stamp. However, we at MPL believe in the honour system!
Prize winners will be contacted via the email or phone number submitted with their tracker or via the email connected to their Beanstack account. Please make sure your email and phone number are written clearly and are up-to-date.
