I set up and ran Beanstack in previous position as a public librarian who
ran summer reading. They do a good job walking you through set up. However,
for the cost and work to set up, I find it less appealing for schools.
To be honest, I didn't love it as a patron. I would just as soon use a
paper log for my kids, personally. But I generally prefer the
simplest solutions.
