BIG Summer Read is on.

Hey kids – the BIG Summer Read is back for the summer holidays! It is easy: register, read, record your reading, and enter the prize draws.

You have plenty of time to read the minimum 10 books, or listen to 10 books being read to you, to be eligible for the prize draws.  The BIG Summer Read runs from 1 December 2022 until 31 January 2023 and is open to everyone aged 0 to 18.

Register online at https://gvlibraries.beanstack.org or pick up a printed copy of the reading record and entry form in any Goulburn Valley Library. For more details about rewards, prizes and upcoming challenges go to our website www.gvlibraries.com.au/big-sumer-read.    

The BIG Summer Read aims to arrest the ‘summer slide’ by engaging children and their families in a fun and dynamic campaign through public libraries, supported with resources such as a user-friendly website and mobile app, reading logs and milestone incentives. A competitive element with a Goulburn Valley Libraries prize draw, as well as the statewide prize, provides added incentive for participation.

Not a member of the library yet? You can still register to participate, but you can join online at https://www.gvlibraries.com.au/apply or come into any of our libraries and fill out a membership form.  Library membership is free!

Visit our website and you will also find Online Storytime videos that each have a craft activity to download, as well as access to many other great resources such as Storybox Library,          Kanopy Kids, BorrowBox, cloudLibrary, LOTE Online for Kids and so much more.

The BIG Summer Read – fun, free and at your local library now.
