A Great Library Takeover: Winter Reading Festival

Curl up with a good book—or a few hundred!—at the ultimate winter reading festival. 

Reading Rhythms and The New York Public Library are teaming up to transform NYPL’s flagship lending library in Midtown, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library (SNFL), into an after hours winter wonderland. Explore five floors of the Library as you’ve never seen them before, with reading parties, live music, themed activities, and much more!

Special access includes:

• Live musical performances

• Relaxing reading lounge

• Arts and crafts inspired by winter reads

• Writing workshops and prompts 

• Free non-alcoholic beverages, snacks, and fun surprises (While supplies last)

• Custom reading recommendations from librarians




Plus: Get a Library card, mingle with fellow readers, or relax with quiet reading time at the cozy lounge corner.
