Come along for some fun at your local library these school holidays
Kia Kaha te Pānui – Summer Reading Challenge families!
A huge thank you to all 1,665 tamariki and rangatahi who participated this summer! We loved hearing about what you’ve been reading and can’t wait to share your epic reviews (we’re working on it!). We hope those of you who attended the carnival on Saturday had a wonderful time. We sure did!
We’d love to ensure you enjoy participating next year, too, so please take a moment to fill out our short Kia Kaha te Pānui feedback survey to share your thoughts.
We have a $50 Prezzy card to give away to one lucky person – fill out the survey and you’re in the draw! The survey closes on Monday, 9 February. You do not have to have done 3 check-ins to fill out the survey – we’d love to hear from everyone.
Finally, we know you’re all keen to see who the winners of the main prize draws are – especially if you weren’t at the carnival to check the winner’s boards. All winners have now been contacted*, so if your name is on the list, you will have already received a text message. Without further ado..

Congratulations to all these winners, plus over 60 Mini, Summer, and Teen spot prize winners who were contacted individually throughout the challenge.
*Note: Some participants share the same name. Please be assured we have cross-checked all winners’ names and phone numbers, and each winner has been contacted.
A huge thank you to Bay Venues for providing enough pool passes so that each and every child who completed a check-in could benefit from our fabulous local pools! Thank you to Waimarino, Rocktopia, and Marshalls Animal Park for generously donating their passes as a part of our prize draws. Thanks also to The Crossing for supplying some goodie bags for Teen spot prizes.
We can’t wait to see you all back for Kia Kaha te Pānui next summer - and in our lovely new city library and community hub!
