I love reading outside where I can hear the birds

Overview

Our Summer Reading Challenge is a fun way for children to log their books over the holidays and be encouraged to boost their reading habits!

All tamariki aged 5 and up are welcome to play. It’s an online competition where they choose a team based on their age, and log their books to win great spot prizes.

We run campaigns to encourage New Zealanders to read, research our reading habits and barriers to reading, and advocate for the importance of reading.
