Reading is vital to a healthier, happier, more connected nation.
The significant benefits of reading for pleasure include reducing depression, loneliness and dementia, and increasing empathy, self-esteem and awareness of other cultures.
The Warm Winter Read aims to encourage adult readers (16+) across Victoria to create healthy reading habits by tracking the days participants read over June, July, and August 2024. As the temperature drops, we want you to make time for yourself and your chosen story every day.
While reading is its own reward, you’ll also be in the running to win some great bookish prizes! We are also running a special collection of programs throughout winter to celebrate. Keep an eye out on our website for more details.
