Level Up Your Reading
Are you ready to take your reading to the next level? Prince William Public Libraries invites students in grades K–12 to join Level Up Your Reading, a gamified reading challenge where you track your reading minutes, earn prizes along the way, and work toward a grand prize drawing.
Level Up Your Reading is a continuation of the popular 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program. The goal is to encourage students to read more and enjoy the journey. Books, audiobooks, and graphic novels all count!
Listen to the Level Up episode of the "Important Library Stuff" podcast episode to learn more.

- How Does It Work?
Read. Choose any reading material, including books, audiobooks, or graphic novels, and read for 20 minutes to fill in one box on your bookmark or log your minutes in the Beanstack Tracker app.
Complete a level. Each level has 20 boxes, or 400 minutes of reading.
Check in at the library. Visit your local library to check in and LEVEL UP! Each level you complete earns you a prize.
Repeat. Keep going through all 10 levels.
Win big. Finish all 10 levels for a chance to win the grand prize drawing.
- Tips for Your Success
Track your progress on your bookmark or in the Beanstack Tracker app, whichever works best for you.
Mix it up. Audiobooks, graphic novels, and favorite series all count toward your minutes.
Set a routine, such as 20 minutes before bed, so you fill a box every day.
Check in at your library each time you finish a level so you can claim your prize and pick up your next bookmark.
Ask a librarian for recommendations if you need ideas on what to read next.
