Te Wero a Arewhana Huruhuru
Brrr… winter is here, which makes it the perfect time to curl up with a good book! The Mammoth Winter Reading Challenge is a fun way to read more and try new books.
It’s easy to join: Collect a flyer from your local library starting Monday 29 June, then start ticking off the activities as you read. You can go at your own pace and keep reading right up until the challenge ends on Sunday 19 July.
Everyone who takes part has the chance to win prizes and there are lots of exciting stories to discover. So, join the challenge and let the reading begin!
Ages 0-12

Tamariki taking part in the Winter Reading Programme will enjoy 4 exciting challenges, plus plenty of time to dive into their favourite books.
Read as much as you like! For every 15 minutes of reading, colour in one triangle on your flyer and watch your progress grow.
