This season, as the temperature drops, we want you to make time for yourself every day. Warm up with a book from Our Library this winter. Track your reading to be in the running to win some great bookish prizes!

The Warm Winter Read aims to encourage adult readers (16+) across Victoria to create healthy reading habits by tracking the days participants read over June, July and August. If you always mean to read more often, but never get around to it, this is the challenge for you!

Listen to an audiobook on your commute to work, when walking the dog, or while completing household chores. Swap scrolling time for reading time or replace one episode of a binge-watch with a chapter (or two) of a great book.

We’ll even help you find your next great read by celebrating 35 fantastic books recommended by authors you love.

Our author ambassadors for 2025 are:

Ann Liang (Young Adult Fiction)
Christian White (Crime)
Connie Cao (Gardening & Nature)
Emelia Hart (Historical Fiction)
Melanie Cheng (Literary Fiction)
Rachael Johns (Romance)
Sarah Firth (Graphic Novels)
