Boroondara Library Service - BIG Summer Read Program

The Big Summer Read has now closed for 2026.

Congratulations to everyone that had fun reading over the school holidays, particularly our prize winners, Natalie, Eric and Enya.

The BIG Summer Read is a reading program for children and young people (0 to 18 years of age) in partnership with Public Libraries Victoria that aims to boost reading and literacy skills over the summer holidays.

Complete reading challenges and activities from Monday December 1 2025 to Saturday 31 January 2026 to collect points and go in the draw to win prizes:

• First prize is a pool party hosted at Ashburton Pool and Recreation Centre for 10 friends, sponsored by the YMCA (valued at $371)
• Second and third prize is a Readings gift voucher (valued at $25 each).

Prizes must be collected in person from any of the Boroondara Library Service branches.
