Summertime Reading
Get ready for a summer filled with stories, adventures, and endless imagination!
Your favourite stories can travel with you throughout summer, whether you're at the pool with friends, in the park with whānau, or chilling out at home - take stories with you and enjoy them with others. Discover exciting reads, eBooks, audiobooks and magazines at our libraries - join today!
Join us this summer as we bring the magic of reading and storytelling to cool places like parks, pools, playgrounds, and your local library. Plus, keep an eye out for our library van - it might just pop up at your favourite hangouts.
Whether you attend a Summertime Reading event, pick up a book from your local library or download a book online to take with you on your adventures, let your imagination come to life.
Stories come to life at the library. Nau mai tauti mai.
