1 June – 31 August 2025

As the temperature drops, we invite you to make time for yourself and reading. The Warm Winter Read challenge is on from 1 June to 31 August 2025, and is open to adult readers (aged 16 years and over) across Victoria.

Create healthy reading habits and track the days you spend reading over June, July, and August. Listen to an audiobook on your commute to work, when walking the dog, or while completing household chores. Swap scrolling time for reading time or replace one episode of a binge-watch with a chapter (or two) of a great book.

We’ll even help you find your next great read with recommendations from authors you love. 

Register online below during winter to participate:

  • read and record at least one book; or
  • submit at least one book review; or
  • track your reading habits online; or
  • submit your borrowing slip into the box in branch at either Ballan or Bacchus Marsh Libraries;

While reading is its own reward, you’ll also be in the running to win some great bookish prizes or local business coffee vouchers!
