The Lambton County Library is challenging all ages to read more in 2026.
The library’s Beanstack users can now add friends and build a personal reading network.
The feature allows participants to view each other’s reading logs, see challenge histories and engage in friendly competition through shared leaderboards.
“With flexible timelines and engaging themes, these reading challenges are perfect for all types of readers,” said Public Services Coordinator of Adult Programs and Outreach Adrianne Lebert. “We encourage people to join a community of readers, participate in some friendly competition, and motivate themselves to expand their world through reading.”
The challenges include:
- 40 Books Challenge for adults: read or listen to 40 books across ten genres at your own pace.
- 500 Hours Before Graduation for Ages 13-18: read or listen for 500 hours before high school graduation
- 500 Books Challenge for Ages 6 – 12: Read or listen to 500 books before age 12
- 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten for Birth – Age 5: Read or listen to 1,000 books before kindergarten.
Participants can earn entries into monthly prize draws, and anyone who completes one of these challenges will be entered into a year-end grand prize draw.
Participation is managed through the Beanstack platform.
