Minute Madness
It’s tournament time! Can you help us out-read other Massachusetts libraries?
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:
đź“– Online: uxbridgelibrary.beanstack.org
📱 Mobile App: Download the Beanstack app to track your progress on the go.
🏛️ In-Person: Not a fan of tech? No worries—use a paper log to track your minutes and submit your minutes in-person or by phone. Paper logs can be picked up at the library.
After creating an account through our Beanstack page, you'll be able to log the minutes you read throughout the competition. You can even use a timer on the Beanstack app to track the time you spend reading!
Prizes
📢 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, generously provided by the Friends of the Uxbridge Free Public Library.
