Randwick City Library proudly supports The Australian Reading Hour on Thursday, September 19. This all-day event encourages Australians to rediscover or introduce themselves to the pleasure and benefits of reading.

Why is reading so important?

For children, it helps with identity formation and sets them up for success in the future.
Adults who read are also less stressed, as reading is a 68 per cent more effective method of relaxation than listening to music, going for a walk or having a cup of tea.

We encourage you to take part in this event at any of our three branches, on your commute to work, at home or out and about at a cafe between chores and tasks.

Feel free to ask any of our relaxed and friendly librarians about the right book for you and the other reading resources we have. If you’re not already a member we can sign you up – for free.
