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!
