Create A Reading Habit

This winter, Libraries Tasmania has launched an initiative to invigorate your reading habit from the cozy comfort of your armchair. Warm Winter Read is a fun and inspiring campaign that gives the tools to build positive reading habits and also connect readers across Tasmania.

Adults and young people aged 16 and over can now register to join the campaign that will run from now until 31 August 2025.

Whether you’re a seasoned bookworm or just rediscovering the joy of reading, the Warm Winter Read offers something for everyone:

• set your own reading goals

• track your progress

• explore book reviews and recommendations from library staff

• go in the draw to win prizes!

Libraries Tasmania Executive Director Patrick Gregory said the campaign is a great way to enjoy reading during the colder months.

“Winter is the perfect time to curl up with a good book. The Warm Winter Read is about making space for reading in our daily lives and connecting with others through stories and a shared loved of reading,” Patrick said.

“Readers can join online or by visiting their local library. Participation is free, and there are no set rules – just read what you love, when you can."

The Warm Winter Read is delivered in partnership with public libraries across Tasmania and Victoria. Visit libraries.tas.gov.au/WarmWinterRead to get started.
