Join the Mayor’s Reading Challenge: Read 60 books in 31 days

Can you read 60 books in a month?

The 2022 Mayor’s Reading Challenge calls on early readers, aged 0-5 years, to read their way through wintry August.

Prizes will be offered as children reach reading milestones, and each child who reads 60 books receives a free book and goes into a draw to win vouchers.

At the 1 August launch, Mayor Nathan Conroy will read a story. Other activities at Frankston Library (60 Playne Street) include: 

10.30am Tiny Tots session for 0-2- year-olds

11am Face painting by the fairy-fabulous Faery Emma

11.30am Story time Superstar Kerry will host a session for children aged 3-5 years with plenty of reading and singing.

In its 12th year, the Mayor’s Reading Challenge supports early literacy and fosters a love of books. It encourages parents and carers to enjoy reading experiences with their children in a fun and rewarding way.

You can collect a reading record and stickers to take part in the challenge at Frankston, Seaford or Carrum Downs libraries.
