MAKATI CITY — Travelers and families looking for a quiet break in the middle of Makati can find one at The Stacks, which will welcome young readers for The Little Stacks on September 16, 2026. The special storytime session will be held at the reading hub’s permanent home on the fourth floor of One Ayala as part of the mall’s 100 Days of Christmas celebration. The activity offers families a relaxed way to enjoy stories and spend time together while exploring one of Makati’s increasingly distinctive lifestyle spaces.
A Quiet Reading Stop at One Ayala
The Stacks has developed from a pop-up reading space into a permanent reading hub at One Ayala, offering visitors a different experience from the mall’s usual retail and dining attractions. Its interior features bean bags, tiered cushioned seating, and shelves filled with books, which guests can read on-site for free. Visitors can also take part in its “donate one, get one” book-swapping program by bringing a pre-loved book and exchanging it for another. For travelers and families passing through Makati, the reading hub provides a simple place to slow down, browse books, and enjoy a quieter side of the city.
Starting the Christmas Season With Stories
The Little Stacks forms part of the 100 Days of Christmas celebration, bringing young readers and families together as the country begins its long holiday countdown. The storytime activity adds a community-oriented experience to One Ayala’s role as both a major transportation hub and lifestyle destination. For visitors exploring Makati during the Christmas season, The Stacks offers another reason to include One Ayala in their itinerary. Beyond shopping and dining, the space provides an opportunity to experience a more relaxed and community-centered side of the city through books, storytelling, and shared reading.
