 Hi everyone, my name is Sheridan. I work at the Long Beach Public Library and in this video I'm going to show you how to register for our summer reading program. First off, you want to open up a web browser, anyone will work, and in the address bar type in longbeach.gov forward slash library to be able to get to the Long Beach Public Library's home page. Once you're there, under the learn tab, click on summer reading 2020 and that'll take you to our summer reading home page. Here you'll see information about summer reading. The theme for example for this year is dig deeper, read, investigate, discover at your library. You'll also see information for kids, teens, adults, and information in espanol about summer reading. If you scroll down a little further, you'll see all of our upcoming summer reading events. We've planned 30 virtual programs for you and your family to enjoy this summer. Along with some information about our sponsors, the Long Beach Public Library Foundation and the friends of the Long Beach Public Library whose funding make summer reading possible. To register for summer reading, scroll up the page and click on the register for summer reading here link and that will take you to the Long Beach Public Library's Beanstack page. This summer, because we're going virtual, we've partnered up with Beanstack to be able to make it easy for you to log your reading, complete activities, and write book reviews to earn prizes all summer long. To get straight to this page, in a new tab you could also type in LongBeach.BeanStack.org and it'll take you straight there as a little shortcut. I'll show you how to register. If you click on register an individual or family, you'll see a couple of options pop up. You can either register yourself or you can be an adult registering a child. One cool thing about Beanstack is that it allows for one single login to work for an entire family. So for example, one of the parents in the family can create the Beanstack account and then within that account they can have multiple readers that are all logging, reading, completing activities, and writing book reviews at their own pace. I'm going to choose that I'm an adult registering a child today to show you how it looks. First off, it's going to ask me for information about myself and then underneath it's going to ask me for information about the reader that would be my child. So let's say that I'm going to register and I'll type in my first name here and my last name is Reader and I'll say S Reader is going to be my username. I can leave the email blank but a phone number is required so I'll type in a phone number here and then I'll create a password. Be sure that the password is identical in both fields. It's going to ask me for my primary library branch and I primarily go to the Bruitt library. Looks like that's good to go and so here I'll put in my child's name. I'm going to register my six year old daughter. Her name is Panchita and her last name is Reader. She's six years old and she does indeed have a Long Beach Public Library card. So I'll hit next. At this point Beanstack is asking if I'd like to add another child. On second thought I think I would. I'll add my teenage son. His name is Panchito. His last name is Reader. He is 15 and he also has a Long Beach Public Library card and I'll hit next. I'm not going to add any more children but if you have more children to add this would be a great time. Would I also like to register myself? Sure. How old am I? I am 19 plus. Thank you Beanstack for being so forgiving and I do have a card. At this point you can also add another adult. For example if you wanted to register your spouse or perhaps your parent lives with you and you want to register them as well. I'm going to say no but you can say yes if you have someone else to register. And it looks like we're all set up. And now you have access to all of the different challenges. For Panchita Beanstack automatically registered her as a child. For Panchito my teenage son. He was automatically registered in the teen program and I was automatically registered in the adult program. And that's it. You're into Beanstack. Thanks for watching.
