Earn Prizes
At 15 days of reading, kids and teens earn a free book and adults earn a coupon for the Book Store Next Door. Keep reading to get to 30 days for your final prize – a kiddie ice cream or slush of your choice at Dandis Ice Cream in Reading!
Kids will also earn beads for their Read & Bead keychain for days of reading and for completing activities! Kids entering Grades K-6 that read for 30 days to complete the Summer Reading Program (SRP) and log it on Beanstack before August 13 will also earn a Topsfield Fair Read & Win prize pack! Be sure that grades and ages are up to date as of October 12, 2026 on Beanstack or through a library staff member to receive this prize.
