Warm Winter Read 2024

1 June - 31 August

Get ready to cozy up with a good book this winter because the Warm Winter Read is here. It's time to prepare for a season of literary adventures.

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.

It’s easier to find time to read than you think. Listen to an audiobook on your commute to work, walking the dog, or while completing household chores; swap scrolling time for reading time; or simply 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 by celebrating 40 fantastic books recommended by authors you love. 

While reading is its own reward, you’ll also be in the running to win some great bookish prizes. 

How to register for Warm Winter Read 2024

You can set up a profile on the Public Libraries Victoria Read Books website or visit a branch from 1 June and collect your reading journal, to register. Start logging your reading days from 1 June.
