Welcome to the Untangled Tales Summer Reading Club

The Untangled Tales Summer Reading Club begins on 30 November 2012 and runs until 12 January 2013. This year we have 3 programs tailored to 3 age groups. Each program has it's own webpage and conditions.

Untangled Tales for Preschoolers

While our preschool programs take a summer break, we warmly invite you to join the 2012/13 Summer Reading 

Club with your preschool child. Here’s how it works.

• The program started on 30 November 2012 and finishes on 12 January 2013.
• Your child must be of preschool age to join this program. Children starting school in 2013 will be joining this program. There is also Untangled Tales for Primary School Students and the Totally Tangled Teen Read.
• You can register and join at only one of our libraries. 
• When you register you will be given a reading log, which is your entry form for the prize draw. Please enter all the library books you read with or to your child in that reading log. 
• Once you read five books together, you qualify for a prize pack (one prize pack per child). Feel free to read much more than that and even attach additional reading logs to your original log. All Summer Reading Club participants also have the chance of winning an iPad, iPod, book or magazine pack in the national draw!
• To claim your child’s prize you must hand in the completed reading log(s) at your local library by 12 January 2013 the latest and attend the Untangled Morning Tea Party with your child at your local library.

Totally Tangled Teen Read

Welcome to the Totally Tangled Teen Read!

If you would like to do some reading over the summer break, here’s your chance to read and win. Register 

at your local branch when you borrow books and add a bunch of reviews to the library’s catalogue between 

30 November 2012 and 12 January 2013.

Once you have added five reviews to the catalogue, you will go into the prize draw for movie tickets as well as 

the chance to win an iPad, iPod, book and magazine packs in the national draw. 

But why stop at five reviews? Just keep writing them, as other people love reading them
