For babies 0 months through students entering 8th gradeWinter Library Club has gone online! But it is still the program you know and love.
The Youth Services Winter Library Club combines reading and participation in Library activities. Families who participate in Winter Library Club must be Batavia Public Library cardholders or have children attending a Batavia school.
Each badge earned on the Beanstack platform counts as one activity towards completing the child’s Winter Library Club challenge. Complete ten badges to earn a Winter Library Club – Antarctic Adventure reward.
Every badge also earns children a ticket that can be used to enter a drawing for prize baskets. For each additional badge achieved, children will also earn an extra ticket to enter the prize basket drawing.
For assistance and questions, contact the Youth Services Department at 630-879-1393 x500 or email youthservices@bataviapubliclibrary.org.

Being eligible for the drawings is easy – record your books using Beanstack!
Choose between logging books for 10 points each and/or completing activities for either 3, 6, or 10 points each. (Please log your books and NOT days.) On your mobile device, log your reading by clicking the “+” icon and enter your titles.
Most badges have more than one activity* available, and you can mix and match your reading and activities.
You will earn an entry into a drawing for Batavia Bucks gift certificates for every 30 points achieved (up to a maximum of 300).
*Some activities require a Batavia Public Library card for access to Library resources.
Note: the Staff Challenge is visible to our patrons. However, it is only for employees of the Batavia Public Library.
