FAQ
How do you draw kids' prizes?
When you have completed enough for a raffle ticket (10 badges), come to the children's desk and get a raffle ticket. You will write down your contact information and place your ticket in the bucket for which prize drawing you would like to enter. There will be multiple choices. The more raffle tickets you complete the more chances to win. The grand prize this year for kids is a $50 gift certificate to Rock, Paper, Scissors. All registrants will be eligible as long as they put in at least one raffle ticket.
How do you draw teen and adult prizes?
Beanstack raffles will be weighted electronic drawings based on number of reviews, challenges, and books logged. All are due by August 12th. Prize winners will be notified.
Do you need to be a Duxbury resident to play?
No - anyone is welcome to participate, but prizes must be picked up in person.
But I am too young to reserve a museum pass!
Visiting a museum is better with a partner. Have your grownup reserve a pass and take you or try a local museum.
I am participating in the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program via Beanstack also. Do those books count toward summer reading?
Yes! You can count the 1,000 books and the summer reading books concurrently. If you are registered in both programs, it will automatically count in both programs.
Can I read the same books again and again?
Yes! Count every time you read, even if it’s your favorite book again, and again, and again…
