There’s lots of exciting reading activity coming up in March. Tasmania Reads is a Tasma­nian Government initiative based on the National ‘Austra­lia Reads’ campaign.

Tasmania Reads is a week-long celebration of reading and storytelling and runs from 5 – 11 March 2023. Libraries, schools, community groups, and businesses are all getting involved.

There will be a variety of ways you can join in the fun. Join us at Bridgewater Library for the following, all at 10am, with light refreshments available:

Monday 6 March – Staff Reads – hear staff talk about their favourite books and authors

Tuesday 7 March – Digital reading ideas

Wednesday 8 March – Children’s Rock and Rhyme

Thursday 9 March – Book Cubby – parents/carer and children can write their own story to be added to the Book Cubby.

Join library staff for the Australian Reading Hour on Thursday 9 March and take some time out to unwind and escape into a book. The Read­ing Hour message is read, share, and enjoy books! You can take part at anytime during the day or join staff at 4pm.
