THE PROGRAM
The North Manchester Public Library’s Winter Reading Program is back and it’s better than ever! We have double the reading and double the prizes with a fun pirate theme to get everyone excited about books, audiobooks, and ebooks.
Hooked on Books is open to children, teens, and adults. The Winter Reading Program begins December 14th and ends February 14th. Participants can register and track reading on the free Beanstack app (found in the app store on any smart device) or by using the Beanstack laptops at the library’s circulation desks. Each hour of reading logged earns 2 tickets. Tickets are entered in drawings for a wide variety of prizes donated by area businesses including free oil changes, haircuts, dining out, auto detailing, a 6 month gym membership, pool passes, photo shoots, groceries and fresh produce.
Winter Readers can sign up for Hooked on Books anytime beginning Wednesday, December 14th and are encouraged to read their own interests in their preferred format at their own pace.

THE GAME
In keeping with the pirate theme, participants can pick up treasure maps to inspire reading through different genres during the course of the 2 month event. Patron will still need to track their reading and enter their tickets on Beanstack, but the maps will inspire patrons to explore new reading horizons and to have a fun visual way to track minutes read.
COMMUNITY STICKER PROJECT
NMPL is also excited to announce a community component, with readers earning the opportunity to add to a mystery Paint by Sticker poster at the library as they log reading. Each time a reader reads 5 hours, they’ll earn stickers to add to the poster. The image starts as a mystery and it builds as everyone adds stickers to create a surprising masterpiece!
