Beanstack Book Club

Introducing a new online challenge!

Looking for new books to read, along with low-pressure encouragement? Try our new Beanstack Book Club, for ages 16 and up! Every month there is a new genre to read and a new badge to earn.

How does it work?

You sign up on the Morgantown Public Library System’s Beanstack. Each month has a different theme and reading recommendations cultivated by library staff. To earn a badge, read something from the month’s theme, like graphic novels or mystery, and log it on Beanstack. If you miss a month, don’t worry! There are more ways to earn badges, such as reading a recommendation from a friend, making an in-person visit to the library, or exploring library apps.

Beanstack Instructions

Beanstack is easy to use and available both online and as a mobile app. Get started by visiting our website at mympls.beanstack.org to create your account. You can also register through the app.

Have your library card ready and choose how you would like to register (as an individual) and then complete all required fields (marked with *). If you need a library card, visit your local branch to sign up today! Note: An email address is required—if you do not have one, you will need to create one first. Once registered, you can access your account online or in the app by signing in with your username and password.

To get the app: The free app is in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store under the name BeanstackTracker. Once downloaded, open the app and follow the simple step-by-step prompts to create an account for yourself, your child, or your family/group. If you’ve already created your account through the website, you can skip this step and just sign in. Note: When registering through the app, the first prompt in creating your account is selecting “Find Your School or Library.” Enter “Morgantown” in the search bar. Otherwise, the process is the same as registering on the website.

Troubleshooting: If at any time you need help with Beanstack, please visit their Help Center and type in your question. If you can’t find your answer there, our staff would be happy to assist you! You can reach them by calling 304-291-7425 or by emailing ask@mympls.org.
