What is Bookalicious?




Bookalicious is a reading club for children between the ages five and twelve.



On joining the club, members will receive a special library card, a badge and a reading log. It is simple each time you read a book write the details into the reading log and get your parent or carer to sign it as well. Every time you finish ten books bring your reading log to the library to collect your next reward.


Children between the ages of five and eight can include books that are read to them. For children who have difficulty reading normal print they can listen to audio books, read large print or have books to them.


If you are taking part in the the Premier's Reading Challenge at your school you can also record the books you read in your Bookalicious reading log.


As a member of Bookalicious you will also receive invites to special Bookalicious only events and our special Bookalicious Newsletter.


You can join Bookalicious at any branch. For further information about Bookalicious please phone the Children's Librarian on 4645 4444.
