The database that contains all of the information about your account is secured by encrypted password access. However, we encourage you not to share your username or password with anyone. For additional information about Beanstack security and privacy, please review their Privacy Page.
If you are caring for five or more children and the children in your class are approximately the same age, you can register your entire class at the same time. From the Beanstack homepage, select “Register a class or group,” and follow the instructions from there. Once you register, you can give each reader an individual name by going to your Profile Settings.
Track your progress easily by checking that you’ve read or visited a destination and Beanstack will give you automatic virtual tickets which you can use to win prizes throughout the summer.
Try choosing a different username. Adding a number at the end of your preferred username might help, or selecting a combination of two usernames you like.
We need to be able to contact you if you win one of our great prizes!
You’ll receive a welcome email with instructions as well as recommendations for reading materials and library programs. Additionally, if you forget your password, it’s much easier to reset if you provide an email address.
