This summer, we’re challenging tamariki to: 
- read as often as they can 
- explore their local library 
- discover fun activities with their whānau 

There’s something for everyone, and for every age and stage. 

Your Summer Reading Adventure booklet will give you everything you need – a reading tracker, information about events, an entry to the Grand Prize Draw 

Booklets can be collected from 1 December from your local Tasman District Library. 

Let’s get reading!
