Warm Winter Read

The Warm Winter Read aims to encourage adult readers (16+) across Victoria to create healthy reading habits by tracking the days participants read over June, July and August.

It’s easier to find time to read than you think. Listen to an audiobook on your commute to work, walking the dog, or while completing household chores; swap scrolling time for reading time; or simply replace one episode of a binge-watch with a chapter (or two) of a great book.

We’ll even help you find your next great read by celebrating 40 fantastic books recommended by authors you love!

While reading is its own reward, you’ll also be in the running to win some great bookish prizes!

Stay tuned for more information on how to participate, coming soon.

How do I register

In the days leading up to the launch, you can register and create a profile at the new Public Libraries Victoria Read Book website to track your reading. Or drop into one of our locations from 1 June and collect your Reading Journal to register.
