Summer Reading Club: The Greatest Show Online
The Summer Reading Club is a state wide, online program that offers children aged 0 -16 years a broad range of fun activities to engage, inspire and entertain. Now in its sixth year, the Summer Reading Club promotes a love of books, reading and libraries with online contributions from contemporary authors and illustrators of children’s books.
