Flyer shared with Patch by the Woburn Public LibraryAs part of the summer reading program, you can log any books you read between June 25 and August 13 after creating an account on Beanstack. Each week you log a book, you'll be automatically entered into the weekly raffle, and every book you log means an additional raffle ticket toward the grand prize. You're not required to have a Woburn Public Library card to participate, but you can earn extra raffle tickets for getting one. The theme for this year is "Beyond the Beaten Path," to encourage participants to "wander away from the books, genres and authors" they normally read.
