Children aged between 0 and 18 years of age inclusive.

That is fine, the children of Council employees can still enter the competition.

No. You do not need to be a member of Christchurch City Libraries to be eligible to enter.

You can pick up a postcard from any Christchurch City Library, cut one out of the summer edition of What’s On (in libraries from 1 December 2024), download a copy, or simply fill in the online entry form for kids or adults to be in the draw!

You can enter when you have had an adult tick, sticker or stamp that you have had three reading experiences from the options listed on the challenge sheet. Once you have completed this – take your entry form to any of our libraries and hand to a staff member to be in the draw to win.

You may enter as many times as you like.

The prizes include:

• $300 bike voucher
• Vouchers from Scorpio Books
• Orana Park family passes
• Airforce Museum experience vouchers
• Pool passes
• and small prize bundles

The winners will be randomly drawn and announced on our website and Facebook page in the week following the close of the competitions.

Contact us and we can answer your questions.

The emphasis this year is on encouraging shared family experiences – your preschoolers will obviously be having these experiences alongside an adult. Have fun together as you celebrate the joy of reading!
