Beanstack is a fun, free reading platform from Inner West Libraries that helps families track reading, earn rewards, and discover great books.

Making reading fun for the whole family

What is Beanstack?

Inner West Libraries has launched Beanstack, a free online and app-based platform that makes reading fun and rewarding for people of all ages.

With Beanstack, families can join reading challenges, track books or minutes read, and earn digital badges along the way. Some challenges even offer prizes, a great incentive to keep children reading regularly.

Parents will love how easy it is to track their child’s progress, get personalised book recommendations, and celebrate milestones together. Beanstack also encourages families to read together, helping to build strong reading habits and a shared love of stories at home.

Signing up is simple

All you need is an Inner West Council Library membership. Families can create one account and link everyone together, making it easy to log reading across all ages.

Encouraging children to read for pleasure helps develop creativity, vocabulary, and confidence, all vital skills for lifelong learning.

Beanstack is a great way for families in our community to support these values and celebrate the joy of reading together.
