Have you entered the Reading Olympics?

The Reading Olympics is a reading competition open to all ages. Prizes will be awarded for different age categories. Registrations have opened via https://grenfellpubliclibrary.org.au, and the reading competition commenced on Friday 23 July which is the day of the Olympics opening ceremony in Tokyo. The competition will end on Monday 6 September which is the day of the Paralympics closing ceremony.

All reading options will be available. This means you can read books from the public library, school library, BorrowBox, indyreads, Story Box Library or your own home.

You have to be in it to win.
