Summer Reading Club 2011 – ideas, activities and reading lists for teachers.

Run by ALIA, the Summer Reading Club program encourages literacy in more than 41,000 children Australian wide. 

Summer Reading programs are traditionally run in public libraries during the summer school holiday period.  They encourage young people of all ages in reading, writing, sharing books and other fun and engaging literature based activities.  Reading programs are designed to be non-competitive, recreational and attract readers and non-readers alike from a wide range of social and economic backgrounds.

Approximately 165,000 books are read during the Summer Reading Club.
