These summer holidays, adventure awaits your child through Sunshine Coast Libraries free Summer Reading Club. Whether going away or staying home, children can win fantastic prizes by embarking on three quests outlined in a Summer Reading Club Adventure Map. Just join up for online or within a branch and either download the map or collect it in person from your local Sunshine Coast Library to be involved. Prizes include a torch and library bag, and if all three quests are completed children go into the draw to win a $50 book voucher! Better still, the quests encourage your child to keep reading and learning through the summer holidays. So don’t miss out on the fun! The Summer Reading Club will be held from 1 December 2022 till 31 January 2023.
