Beanstack

Built with librarians and educators for the love of reading, Beanstack helps public libraries, schools, and school districts grow their reading culture and motivate readers to read more. The flagship product of Zoobean Inc., Beanstack is licensed by over 15,000 customers around the world. Its investors include Mark Cuban from ABC’s Shark Tank and its founding members were previously Washington, DC's teacher of the year and Google's first head of K-12 education outreach.

How Beanstack Works

The leading solution for motivating people to read, Beanstack uses competition, recognition, and proven gamification principles to grow community reading culture. When children are given free choice in their independent reading, they are likelier to finish books and develop a genuine love for reading.

Beanstack is an equitable and flexible way to uplift readers with diverse backgrounds and reading abilities to create an inclusive reading culture.

Like a Fitbit for reading, Beanstack's easy and real-time tracking helps build strong reading skills and habits.
