2025 All Ages Summer Challenge - Color Our World

You can register yourself and your children on Beanstack at www.ccplohio.beanstack.org (beginning June 1st), by grabbing the Beanstack app through scanning the QR code below,

OR staff can register you. Library staff can also register you as an off-line reader IF you are CERTAIN, you will never log in yourself.

You do not need to enter your library card to register, but we do prefer that you use one when setting up your account.
Parents can register their children by creating a family account and listing each child individually.
When registering, you must select the branch that you typically attend, however you may pick up your prizes at any of our branches/Bookmobile.
You will be able to register for a Summer Challenge based on your age. We have three ages groups:
- Birth-4
- 5-12
- Teens 13-18* still in high school

You will have 25 activities they can complete (e.g. read a library book, check out a book, attend a library program, visit a park, visit a museum in person or virtually, play a game) for the challenge. You can click on each as you complete them. This will earn you a badge.

Once you have clicked on 5 badges that you have completed/earned, you'll have another badge, the Completed 5 Activities badge to click on which also gives you a certificate to print. You can then go to one of our branches or Bookmobile and tell the staff member who will then go into your account and redeem your first prize, which will be a book of your choice to choose from a selection.
Once you have clicked on 15 badges that you have completed/earned, you'll have another badge, the Completed 15 Activities badge to click on which also gives you a certificate to print. You can then go to one of our branches or Bookmobile (can be the same as before or different) and tell the staff member who will then go into your account and redeem your second prize, which will be a book of your choice to choose from a selection.
Once you have completed all 25 activities/earned 25 activity badges, you can go to one of our branches (again, can be any or Bookmobile) to get a little art easel set or library swag. The first 50 at each branch to complete their challenge will also get a coupon for the Ohio State Fair. Those who complete all of the activities will be entered to win the grand prize in their age group.
Grand Prizes:
Birth-4: 2 Adults, 4 kids to Columbus Zoo
5-12: 2 Adults, 4 kids to CoSi
Teens: 5 tickets to Activate Columbus
