Adults and young people aged 16 and over can now register to join the campaign that will run from 1 July to 31 August 2025.

Whether you’re a seasoned bookworm or just rediscovering the joy of reading, the Warm Winter Read offers something for everyone:

  • go in the draw to win prizes!
  • Libraries Tasmania Executive Director, Patrick Gregory, said the campaign is a great way to enjoy reading during the colder months.
  • “Winter is the perfect time to curl up with a good book. The Warm Winter Read is about making space for reading in our daily lives and connecting with others through stories and a shared loved of reading,” Patrick said.
  • “Readers can join online or by visiting their local library. Participation is free, and there are no set rules – just read what you love, when you can.
