The annual Winter Reading Challenge is back this July at the Invercargill Public Library and this year it is open to all ages.

Challenge yourself to read six books during July and you could walk away with $100 worth of Whitcoulls vouchers.

“Studies show people who read are more successful, have lower stress levels and have better memory than those who don’t read,” said Children’s Librarian Megan Findlater. “Plus, reading is fun. This competition is a great way to promote reading and a love of books while tickling people’s competitive nature:”

Log books will be available on 1 July and the competition runs until 31 July. Logs can be downloaded from the Library website, or picked up at any Help Desk.
