Reading Allowed

Take a moment to slow down and simply listen. Join us for Reading Allowed, a relaxed read-aloud gathering where stories, prose, and poetry are brought to life through the spoken word.

Arrive early for a cuppa and settle in as we share an inspiring anthology of readings in a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Whether you're an avid reader or simply enjoy being read to, this is a wonderful opportunity to unwind, connect, and celebrate the joy of literature.

This special event is also held in recognition of International Literacy Day, celebrating the power of reading, storytelling, and lifelong learning.

Registrations are not required for this event, however, it is highly encouraged to email StAndrews.LibraryOffice@hcc.govt.nz to let us know you're coming!
