Children are asked to read at least 10 books over the period to go in the draw to win a prize.<\/p>\n
“The big summer read is a fantastic statewide initiative and it’s great to see Moorabool Shire take part and encourage our young residents to get reading,” Cr Tatchell said.<\/p>\n
“We encourage all school-aged kids to take part as there are great prizes to be won for those who read the most.”<\/p>\n
