A child's reading achievement typically declines over the summer holidays, and this reading loss each year accumulates to a crucial two-year gap in reading by the time children leave primary school. The Summer Reading Club is a free, fun way to prevent this slide.
Last year the Summer Reading Club was a huge success! Over 43,000 children participated across Australia, and more than 360,000 books were read.
Summer Reading Club 2018 will run from December 1, 2018 - January 31, 2019 for ages zero to 18. We have lots of bonuses available for reading and listening to books, and a range of fun activities taking place throughout the holidays.
To join in the fun children can:
- Visit the library from December 1 2018 to register, and receive their free Summer Reading Club kit.
- Read and listen to books from the library.
- Collect prizes and bonuses.
- Come along to the fun activities in the library.
