Book Week is just around the corner and to celebrate Frankston City Libraries is giving you the chance to win one of five Robinsons Bookshop vouchers. 

Each year across Australia, The Children’s Book Council of Australia brings children and books together celebrating book week, 17-23 August. 

During this time schools, libraries, booksellers, authors, illustrators and children celebrate Australian children’s literature and you will often see children’s book character parades in your local schools and talented librarians creating amazing displays. 

In Frankston City you’ll see Mayor Michael O’Reilly donning his favourite Where’s Wally? costume and getting lost around the city. 

“It’s no secret I like dressing up, but I love exploring the greater Frankston City even more,” the Mayor said.  

“During Book Week, Frankston City Libraries will give away a $20 Robinsons Bookshop voucher each weekday to one lucky punter who jumps on the Frankston City Libraries social media and guesses correctly where I am that day. 

“You’ll also find our library staff dressed up and celebrating!” 

“The Mayor’s Reading Challenge is also underway until the end of August. If you haven’t yet signed your pre-schooler up, there’s still time with some great rewards along the way. You can sign up at any Frankston City Library,” the Mayor added. 

“I’m a firm believer that a child who reads is a child who leads, so while you’re guessing where I am, drop into your local Frankston City Library and sign your pre-schooler up to participate in the Mayor’s Reading Challenge.” 

Follow @FrankstonCityLibraries on Facebook and Instagram to participate in the daily Where’s Mayor O’Reilly? prize draw which runs from 19-23 August. 

The Children’s Book Council of Australia Book Week runs 17-23 August, 2019.

The Mayor’s Reading Challenge runs 1-31 August, 2019.
