Beanstack
Beanstack is the single best tool for facilitating reading challenges, primarily for libraries and schools. With Beanstack, libraries combat the summer slide with easy-to-run summer reading challenges that increase participation in library programs, deepen engagement, and motivate more reading. For schools and libraries who want to foster year round reading engagement, reading challenges promote reading for fun and raise students' reading comprehension, test scores, and academic achievement. Beanstack can also help you run a reading fundraiser to collect donations that further your literacy efforts.
