Minute Madness
It’s tournament time! Can you help us out-read other Massachusetts libraries?
📢 Minute Madness Round 4 Update – Uxbridge Falls to Holbrook in Round 3
Round 3 was a tough battle, and while Uxbridge put up an amazing effort, we fell just 5,400 minutes short of the Holbrook Public Library, bringing our Minute Madness journey to an end.
In Round 4, Holbrook defeated Georgetown and Bedford defeated Wilmington. Holbrook and Bedford are now in the Minute Madness Championships — a new winner will be crowned on April 4!
Remember: any minutes logged through April 4 will count towards our grand prizes, one of three $25 gift cards to Honeysuckle Roastery and Cafe! Log at least 800 minutes by the deadline for a chance to win! 🎉
☕ Readers who log at least 800 minutes throughout the competition will be entered into a drawing to win one of three $25 Honeysuckle Roastery and Cafe gift cards.
📖 Log your reading minutes on the Beanstack app, online, or using a paper log to track your minutes.
How It Works
- Competition Dates: March 1 - April 4, 2025
- Format: 16 libraries compete in a bracket-style tournament, with the first week being an initial “free-for-all” round. Each week after, libraries will face off in a head-to-head matchup, with winners advancing until one library is crowned champion. Every minute you read brings your library closer to victory in that week's round!
- What Counts? Any kind of reading—books, audiobooks, graphic novels, eBooks, newspapers, or online articles—it all adds up!
Log your total minutes read by every Thursday evening!
How to Participate
It’s easy to get involved! Simply log your reading minutes using one of the following methods:
