The 2022/23 Big Summer Read program begins today, with children aged 0-18 years who register eligible for numerous prizes.

Supported by the Gannawarra Library Service, the Public Libraries Victoria program aims to keep children engaged in reading up to the end of the initiative, which concludes on Tuesday, 31 January 2023, and beyond.

“It has been great to see so many children register to participate during November, with it now being time to read, be read to, or listen to some of the great books on offer through the Gannawarra Library Service, or from your home collection,” Gannawarra Shire Council Chief Executive Officer, Tom O’Reilly said.

As part of the Big Summer Read, children will be able to keep track of the books they read via the Beanstack app or paper-based packs available for collection from library branches at Cohuna, Kerang, Leitchville and Quambatook.

Participants who log at least 10 books will be in the running to win one of three Readings gift vouchers presented Statewide, to be awarded across the 0-8 years, 9-12 years and 13-18 years age categories, as well as one of three $100 variety gift cards for Gannawarra Library Service members.

Children can register to participate in the Big Summer Read by downloading the Beanstack app, available from the Apple App or Google Play stores, or by contacting your local Gannawarra Library Service branch.
