Nashville Public Library Summer Reading
Log your time spent reading in Beanstack OR via a printed reading log! Reading earns prizes!
While MNPS students have an MNPS Beanstack account, the Nashville Public Library has their own Beanstack platform. To create or update your Nashville Public Library Beanstack account, go to nashville.beanstack.org.
If you prefer to not use Beanstack, you may print a reading log (scroll to the bottom of the website) or pick one up at various locations in Nashville. Logs will be available to students attending MNPS Promising Scholars.
How to Return Library Books
Options:
- Return MNPS school library books and Nashville Public Library books to any Nashville Public Library branch.
- You may also return MNPS school library books to the school they belong to, if the school has summer office hours. It is recommended that you call the school first.
- You may also return it to the MNPS school you attend during the school year.
HAVE A GREAT SUMMER! HAPPY READING!
