WINTER READING PROGRAM

January 3rd - January 31st

THE PROGRAM

​The second annual NMPL Winter Reading program is here and we could not be more excited about all the great stuff we have planned for you!

You have a month to read and track your minutes (either with a paper tracker from a circulation desk or by registering with Beanstack - more information on that below)!  Ages 12 and under will earn tickets for every 10 minutes read, with a triple entry earned when they reach 100 minutes read. Teens/Adults will earn entries for every hour read.

THE PRIZES

We have some INCREDIBLE community sponsors this year.

  • Strauss-Peabody Aquatic Center has donated 3 day passes to the pool
  • Honeywell Center has donated a family 4 pack of tickets to see Dinosaur World Live on Thursday, February 3 @ 7:30 pm.

THE GAME

Pick up a Bookopoly board from a circulation desk and read your way around the board to earn NMPL Bucks to spend at future events like Little Bookshop on Market Street and Santa’s Workshop!  (Reading time for Bookopoly counts toward reading time for the grand prize drawings.)

The snow may be piling up and the icy winds blowing, but we’ve got plenty to keep you occupied this month with a spectacular Winter Reading Challenge!

HOW TO SIGN UP:

You can sign up online through Beanstack, or at any of the circulation desks beginning January 3rd.

HOW TO SIGN UP: PAPER TRACKERS

HOW TO SIGN UP: BEANSTACK

Come up to the front desk to sign up and pick up your Bookopoly board! Read your way around the board and keep track of the books you've read on your paper tracker. Once you've finished (or any time before the end of winter reading on January 31st!), turn your tracker in to the library for a chance to win! *PLEASE NOTE: Trackers MUST be turned in, in order for a chance to win a prize. 

Not much of a reader? No worries! You can read as much or as little as you like... and audio books count too! Spending a lot of time with kids? Reading to others counts too!

​Stop in today to sign up!
Be sure you've got the Beanstack app downloaded on your phone, so you'll be ready to go!  
  • If You Are Signing Up On Your Smart Device: Download the Beanstack Tracker app from your app store. Simply search for North Manchester Public Library then follow the sign in steps to begin!
