Event Details
From January 1st to January 31st, West Des Moines Library will participate in Beanstack’s Fourth Annual Winter Reading Challenge, sponsored by Simon & Schuster. Books Like Us is a celebration of diversity, harnessing the transformative power of seeing oneself reflected in a book. This Winter, participating communities are invited to explore these books, from authors spanning an array of diverse backgrounds.
We challenge our community to read at least 100,000 minutes during the month and keep track of their reading on our Beanstack site at https://wdmlibrary.beanstack.org or on the Beanstack app.
Thousands of libraries and schools across the nation will encourage their communities to read a target number of minutes and books. Top-performing libraries and schools will earn rewards from Simon & Schuster, including book collections and virtual author visits. Happy reading, West Des Moines!
