🌞📚 The Big Read Wrap-Up! 🎉

What an EPIC summer of reading! ☀️ This year, Hutt City Libraries and Upper Hutt Libraries teamed up once again for The Little Read, The Big Read, and The Even Bigger Read, inspiring tamariki (ages 0-18) to keep up their reading over the holidays. And, by popular demand, we introduced The Biggest Read—so adults could join in the fun too!

📖 1085 entries, 3075 books read, and 4190 activities completed—WOW! Families didn’t just read; they shared stories, listened to audiobooks, picnicked, danced, explored beaches and parks, and of course, visited their libraries!

📚 Reading together isn’t just fun—it helps tamariki maintain and even improve their reading levels over summer. And seeing parents and grandparents enjoying books? That’s the best encouragement of all! 💛
