The Adult Reading Challenge is back!
Winter is the perfect time to snuggle up with a good book so why not tackle that to-be-read pile or step out of your genre comfort zone and discover an exciting new author. Your winter reading could even win you a book voucher!

Read as many books as you like, but for an added incentive, if you:
- Read 6 books, you'll be entered into the draw to win a $25 book voucher,
- Read 12 books and you'll be entered into the draw to win a $50 book voucher, plus
- There's a bonus prize of a $50 book voucher up-for-grabs for the top reader across the district!
