The rules are simple – whichever library logs the most minutes wins. Books, audiobooks, magazines, newspapers and graphic novels all count. The winning library will receive bragging rights and custody of The Reading Cup for one year, until we all compete again! Keep track of our standing on the Wilmington Memorial Library’s website and by signing up for our email newsletters.

Each library will also have their own weekly prize drawings for our participating patrons. Here in Wilmington, the weekly prizes are $20 gift cards to local restaurants! Log at least 5 hours of reading for a chance at our $50 adult prize and $50 youth prize to the Wilmington business of your choice!

Please note: You can log minutes on Beanstack until 12pm on November 27th, but paper logs must be returned to the library by 8pm on November 26th.
