What’s Happening at the Library

Videos of our virtual special events for teens are available here!

Lincoln City Libraries is inviting all middle and high school-age students to take part in our Master of Minutes Teen Reading Challenge. It’s easy and you’ll have the chance to win lots of cool prizes.

Get Started: Go to the Beanstack page on our website and log in to your account or create an account. Staff is available to help you create an account. Pick up your coupon for a FREE Cookie Company cookie!*

Get Going: Log the time you spend reading or listening to books — even school assignments! For each hour you earn one ticket you can put into a raffle for one of the $50.00 prize packages. You have all of October and November to log your reading time. You’ll need to read 10 hours to complete the program.

Each package is worth $50.00:

Package #1 – Honest Abe’s and Gomez Art Supply
Package #2 – A Novel Idea Bookstore and Yia Yia’s Pizza
Package #3 – 48 Bowl and The Eatery
Package #4 – Urban Air Adventure Park and Runza
Package #5 – Francie and Finch Bookshop and Bahnwich Cafe

Keep Going: After you’ve read for 10 hours, you’re done! Your name will be entered into a drawing for an Amazon Fire HD-10 Tablet. But you can keep reading and earning tickets to increase your chance of winning a prize package.

All drawings will be done the first week in December and the winners will be contacted by phone or email.

What About the Bingo Sheet?
Expand your reading possibilities by completing the Bingo sheet — five across in any direction and you’ll earn FIVE extra tickets.
