Australian Reading Hour@TheLibrary
The Australian Reading Hour initiative was on Thursday 20 September. The initiative prompts Australians to pick up a book and read for one hour, and we encouraged all teachers and students to be involved. This was a great opportunity for everyone to discover – or rediscover - the joy of reading for pleasure.
Reading Hour@TheLibrary
In children, reading has been shown to help with identity formation, setting them up for success in the future. In adults, reading has been shown to reduce stress by 68% more than listening to music, going for a walk or having a cup of tea…and it’s always good to combine reading with a nice cup of tea for additional stress relief! Remember, if at any time you need assistance choosing your next page-turner, your friendly library staff are here for suggestions.
