This summer we invite anyone aged between 3-18 years old to join our Shorelink Summer Reading challenge!
Get ready to read, read, read your way to amazing prizes.
This year's challenge runs from Monday 1 December 2025 to Saturday 31 January 2026.
Step 1: Join up
You can register:
- in-person at any Shorelink Library and receive your reading tracker bookmark – there are 5 to collect!
- through the Beanstack app and track your reading digitally to receive digital stickers. Download Beanstack on Google Play or the App Store and select 'Shorelink' as your library.
If you’re not already a library member, you can sign up for free.
Step 2: Start reading
Whether you're reading the books yourself or having the books read to you, all reading counts!
You can include books read at home or borrowed from the library, as well as audiobooks and digital ones like ebooks and eaudiobooks.
Check out our amazing range of online reading resources.
Step 3: Log your reading
Log every 15 minutes you spend reading or being read to this summer by using our custom print bookmarks or Beanstack's digital tracker.
For every 1 hour you log, collect a free prize from your registered library and receive 1 entry into the major prize draw!
Step 4: Review your books
We'd love to hear about what you've been reading!
Grab a paper review form from any Shorelink Library and submit short written book reviews or drawn picture reviews.
Reviews submitted to Stanton Library will be displayed in the library and on our social media through the summer holidays.
Step 5: Keep reading!
The more you read, the higher your chance is to win great prizes!
There is no limit to how much you can read — so what are you waiting for?
