From Monday 12 December, sign up for Dare to Explore - a fun and free reading programme for Auckland kids aged 5-13 years old.

Finish challenges, meet some new friends and join your local celebration event.

The Auckland Libraries Summer Reading Adventure runs throughout the summer holidays and you can finish as many challenges as you want.

Do activities at home, on holiday, at the library, on the internet and with friends.

You can visit other libraries around Auckland, and go online to find booklists, adventure advice and extra activities.

If you're not a member of Auckland Libraries, don't worry - join online or speak to a librarian at your local library to sign up.
