Beanstack

Helping Libraries give children books & apps recommendations

Beanstack launched on February 6, 2015 with 50 votes and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 11 years on.

What it does

Beanstack is a platform for reading challenges and book recommendations for any organization, especially libraries and schools.

First, we select books that we want to recommend to children in our community. These aren’t all of the books we have in our collection - just some of our favorites. We work with experts across the country to extensively catalog these books. For example, we tag them with themes like "Daring to be Different" or character’s backgrounds like "Father & Child." Our system then regularly matches our favorite books to each individual child’s interests and background. We also include tips with each recommendation to give you ideas of ways to help your child learn. Set up a free account and select your child's age, interests, background, and reading level in a few minutes. No library card required.…from saclibrary.beanstack.org
