Week 5 - Black History Month Challenge

[Joanna]

February is Black History Month and we at the library are excited to celebrate. One of the things we're doing this year is a Beanstack challenge for the month of February. The challenge has one reading component and then multiple activity components. The activities range from attending one of the library's events to exploring various websites to learning more about prominent African Americans. This challenge is in addition to the Book Quest challenge (though you'll notice that doing it counts toward one of the Take It or Leave It challenges).

To sign up, when you log into Beanstack, you'll see a "More Challenges" option under your current challenges. If you click the Black History Month cover photo, a box will pop up asking if you want to join the challenge. Clicking that will add it to your current challenges list.

The Black History Month challenge runs from February 1 to February 28 so if you join today, you won't be able to start logging badges but it will be there for you to start on the 1st.

Let me know if you all have any questions and I hope you enjoy the challenge.

The Novel Ladies Book Club is currently reading Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent for Black History Month. I'll have to tell them about the Beanstack Challenge at our meeting next week.
