Download/print booklet or pick up from HB Williams Memorial Library
INSTRUCTIONS
Read any books and eBooks from the library, or ask a grown-up to read to you, or listen to audiobooks or
eAudiobooks for two hours in ten-minute slots. Once you have read (or a grown-up has read to you) for
10 minutes, tick a circle on the page and continue doing this until all 12 circles have been ticked.
Submit (or upload) your entry when you have read for two hours. You have the whole two weeks of the
school holidays to complete the challenge. If you finish early that’s ok because you can submit as many entries
as you want, one entry for every two hours of reading.
Keep reading, the more entries you submit the more chances you have to win!
TERM AND CONDITIONS
1) By submitting a completed entry you are agreeing that the information provided to HB Williams Memorial library is true,
current, and complete. 2) The number of circles ticked on the entry must be a true representation of the number of ten-minute
slots a person under 18 has spent reading or being read to by an adult. 3) HB Williams Memorial Library’s decision is final,
and no correspondence will be entered into.
