From Saturday 16 August to Saturday 23 August 2025, we have an exciting week of events planned to celebrate the joy of reading for children of all ages.

Win prizes by attending

This year’s event is supported by prize giveaways and a competition prize draw for children attending the City’s Book Week events. Children (between 5 – 12 years old) will collect stickers at each event they attend.

Collect three stickers and they will receive a Book Week pen.

Collect all five stickers and they will go into the draw to win one of ten Children’s Book Week tote bags, which will be drawn on Tuesday 26 August 2025.

Sticker cards can be dropped off to a staff member at Riverton Library by 5pm Sunday, 24 August 2025 to go into the draw. Prizes can be collected until 5pm Friday 5 September 2025, any unclaimed prizes after this date will be forfeited.
