Introducing... The NMPL Winter Reading Challenge!

January is only a few weeks off, and we don't know about you, but we always find it to be one of the best months for reading! The holidays are over, the weather is cold, and not too much is going on... it's just the perfect time of year to settle in with a stack of good books! With that in mind, NMPL would like to invite you to participate in... THE WINTER READING CHALLENGE!

Much like our virtual Summer Reading program, this challenge will take place on our Beanstack App. Simply download (or boot up) the FREE Beanstack app for a fun and simple 4 week reading program with North Manchester Public Library! The program will run from Monday, January 4th to Friday, January 29th.

This program is divided into 2 age categories: 0-12 and 13+. Both age categories will have fun prize bundles up for grabs! All you need to do it track your reading and earn tickets that will give you entries into the prize drawings. Unable to access the internet? Hard copy reading trackers will be available for curbside pick-up!

Check out the amazing prize packages below. Remember, the more you read, the more tickets you earn!
