Summer reading fun
16 December 2024 - 26 January 2025
Keep your kids reading with fun activities and more! Perfect for
tamariki aged 5-10 years.
This summer, your goal is to read a little bit (or a lot!) every day, track your daily reading and complete fun reading activities to be in to earn stickers and more!
Kids’ reading programme
Register to join our Raumati Reads summer reading programme these school holidays!
Your activity guide includes exciting activities, a reading tracker and a place to write down your thoughts on the stories you read or listen to. There's even a certificate at the end!
Register any time from
Monday 9 December.
Head to your chosen library from
Monday 16 December to pick up your Raumati Reads activity guide and first sticker!
Karawhiua! Give it a go!
The goodies
Complete the activity sets to earn 6 unique stickers for your certificate. Earn your first one just by signing up!
For an extra challenge, track your daily reading by colouring in the shapes on your activity guide.
When you've read for 10 days, check in at your chosen library to pick up a pack of free coloured pencils. Read for 20 days and you'll get a multi-colour pen!
Why not use them to complete your Raumati Reads activity sets, draw your favourite holiday memories, or even write your own book reviews?
Note: Check-ins must be made at your selected library. Stationery items are in limited supply and given on a first-come, first served basis. Any 10 days of reading during the programme qualify. See Auckland Council Libraries’
competition terms and conditions.
