This summer we invite anyone aged between 3-18 years old to join our Shorelink Summer Reading challenge!

Get ready to read, read, read your way to amazing prizes.

This year's challenge runs from 1 December 2024 to 31 January 2025.

 

Step 1: Join up

You can register:

  • in-person at any Shorelink Library and receive your reading tracker bookmark – there are 5 to collect!
  • through the Beanstack app and track your reading digitally to receive digital stickers. Download Beanstack on Google Play or the App Store and select 'Shorelink' as your library.

If you’re not already a library member, you can sign up for free.

 

Step 2: Start reading

Whether you're reading the books yourself or having the books read to you, all reading counts!

You can include books read at home or borrowed from the library; audiobooks; digital ebooks and eaudiobooks; and even Online Storytimes.

Check out our amazing range of online reading resources.

 

Step 3: Log your reading

Remember to keep track of your reading progress by logging every 15 minutes you spend reading or being read to.

For every 1 hour you log collect a free prize from your registered library and receive 1 entry into the major prize draw!

 

Step 4: Review your books

We'd love to hear about what you've been reading!

Grab a paper review form from any Shorelink Library and submit either a short written book review or a drawn picture review.

Reviews submitted to Stanton Library will be displayed in the library through the summer holidays.

You can also download a printable version.

 

Step 5: Keep reading!

The more you read, the higher your chance is to win great prizes!

There is no limit to how much you can read — so what are you waiting for?
