Summer Reading

Summer Reading 2020

Dec 14th 2020 - Jan 29th 2021

Summer Reading is a fun programme designed to engage all age groups in exploring new ideas, books and/or activities. The programme is free for everybody across the Hurunui district from age 0-109!

This year, due to the current climate around Covid-19 we are launching our new digitally based programme Beanstack which will work alongside our normal paper version.

Our theme for this summer is "Imagine your Story."

Come into your local branch library from the 1st December for your registration pack which will be filled with goodies to help you complete your challenge.

How does Beanstack work?

To get the most out of your Summer Reading experience we recommend creating a Beanstack account. Parents can create the account and have their children registered under their log in. In Beanstack, you will register for the "Imagine Your Story". As you then log your reading minutes over the holidays, you will unlock badges. As you progress through the challenge and get to the 10 hour reading badge you will be entered in our prize draw and receive your completion certificate. If you are a Speedy Reader you can keep going and try to reach our other badges for an extra special certificate.
