The Amazing Read

Welcome

Welcome to the Summer Reading Club website for 2011-2012.

Hogwarts, Narnia, Wonderland – what do all of these places have in common? They are all amazing places where stories have taken us.  From the top end to the snow fields, from the outback to the beach, children all over Australia will be taking part in The Amazing Read, the 2011/12 Summer Reading Club program.

Developed and hosted by the State Library of Queensland, in partnership with ALIA, PLAC, and other state and public libraries, The Amazing Read promises to be bigger and better than ever! Public libraries from all over Australia will be participating and it will be exciting to see children and families connecting with other avid readers and writers across the nation.

The Amazing Read is designed to take you on a journey both throughout Australia and also into the magical world of books. From the beach to the bush, on a road trip or waiting for the bus, we want to hear about your favourite places to read. You can also wonder at the many different places stories can take you – from the deepest depths of the ocean into far outer space.

Join in the Summer Reading Club program at your local library, or explore the amazing features of this website – certain to keep you entertained all holidays!
