Dare to Explore - coming to a library near you

Auckland Libraries Summer Reading Adventure

10 December 2012 - 25 January 2013

FREE for Auckland kids aged 5 - 13
It’s back! Sign up for Dare to Explore at your local library from Monday 10 December and get reading.
The Auckland Libraries Summer Reading Adventure runs throughout the whole summer holidays, and you can finish as many challenges as you want.
Take part in new Dare to Explore challenges and library activities, meet some new friends and come to the PARTY! Do activities at home, on holiday, at the library, on the internet and with friends.
Not a member of Auckland Libraries? It's easy to join - simply go online or speak to a librarian to sign up.

A gentle nudge

We have our annual library stock-take coming up, so please kindly return all your books by the end of this week. Many thanks.

Library displays

Who is looking forward to the Red Room being a library again in the near future? I am. We can have so much fun exploring the world of books and so much more. 

It would be wonderful to get you children involved in creating some wonderfully unique, creative displays ... Check out what these high school children in Melbourne have created ...
