What’s New (4/24/26)
We’re always improving Beanstack to enhance your experience. Check here for updates on cutting-edge new features, slick and stylish design updates, and user-friendly improvements to existing features.
We’re excited to introduce Benny, Beanstack's book-loving bean, to our Libraries with a new feature: Benny's Number Cruncher! For librarians, this offers a brand-new way to uncover quick, actionable reading insights in Beanstack. Instead of digging through multiple reports, you can simply select from pre-made questions like “Which readers read the most minutes last week?" or “Which readers completed our challenge?”. Benny will instantly crunch the numbers and show you exactly what you need to know.
-
Quick Dashboard Access: Your 3 most recently asked questions will appear directly on your Admin Dashboard upon sign-in for easy access.
-
Easy Sorting & Filtering: You can filter your data by time period, class, grade, or teacher and sort various parameters in ascending or descending order.
- Key Student Highlights: Benny also provides a brief AI-generated summary that highlights trends, stand-out readers, and opportunities for extra support.
Benny’s insights help library staff focus their limited time on the key data about their readers and branches—whether that means celebrating milestones or offering a little extra encouragement for your community. To learn more about how to use Benny’s Number Cruncher for Libraries!
