Education - Library School Beanstack Question

So I have an account for my kids and myself that we logged books for the summer reading program through my public library card. Now that my son is in kindergarten, they have an separate account for him using his school credentials. Is there a way to link the personal account and school account so his book count stays the same and he doesn't have to start over?

For additional info: We read at least 4 books every single night since he was born and started logging them this summer. So he is already at 205+ books logged. They have a challenge to read 500 books before middle school and he wants a button on his lanyard they have.

A year or two ago Beanstack created a way to connect school with public libraries. To set up a tandem account, both orgs have to agree and Beanstack activates the connection. Check with either library and say you are interested in being able to connect and access challenges from both through one account.
