# Event Details

- **Event Name**: First Day of Winter Reading: Steep Yourself In Stories
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 15 Dec, 2025 at 09:00 am – Mon, 15 Dec, 2025 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The North Manchester Public Library’s Winter Reading Program is back! This year, we’re cozying up with a warm drink and a good book, letting the magic of winter reading steep into our days and bring joy, comfort, and a little sparkle to the season.

Winter Reading: Steep Yourself in Stories is open to children, teens, and adults. The program begins December 15th and ends February 14th. Participants can register and track reading on the free Beanstack app (available 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, which are entered into drawings for a wide variety of fabulous prizes donated by local businesses.

Our collaborative Paint by Sticker poster will also make its return! As readers log hours, they’ll earn stickers to add to the poster. The image starts as a mystery and builds as everyone adds stickers to create a surprising winter masterpiece.

Winter readers are encouraged to explore titles of their own interests, in their preferred format, at their own pace. Readers can even count books they read to others!
