Australia Reads & Australian Reading Hour
In November, Australia Reads invites Australians of all ages and from all walks of life to share and celebrate the joys of reading.
Whether you’re picking up a book for the first time or your head is already stuck in one, there’s plenty of books, activities and events as part of their festivities.
Australia Reads is a collaborative project between many Australian organisations aimed at lifting literacy rates and improving reading participation.
