The Big Summer Read is back for another year! Join the fun, we want Casey kids to keep reading over Summer.

How it works
The Big Summer Read Challenge runs from Friday 1 December 2023 to Wednesday 31 January 2024.

The aim of the challenge is for children to read and log as many books as they can over Summer.

Children will need to read and log a minimum of 10 books between these dates to be eligible for the Connected Libraries and Statewide prize draws!

Children who record their reading online through the Beanstack App will be eligible for the Statewide prize draws.
