The BIG Summer Read is a reading program for children and young people (0-18 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 by Friday 31 January 2025 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 $362)
  • Second and third prize is a Readings gift voucher (valued at $25 each)

The program launches on Sunday 1 December and runs until Friday 31 January 2025. 

Winners will be drawn at random by Public Libraries Victoria and will also go into the running for state wide prizes. Prizes must be collected in person from any of the Boroondara Library Service branches.
