5 . Lose Yourself in a Good Book for Australia Reads
In November, we're inviting Australians of all ages and from all walks of life to share and celebrate the joys of reading. Whether you're picking up a book for the first time or your head is already stuck in one, there are plenty of books, activities and events as parts of our festivities.
On Thursday, November 12 we'll celebrate Australian Reading Hour. You're invited to stop what you're doing for an hour, pick up a book and read to yourself or the children in your life. Join us and relax. Get inspired and find joy in books!
This year we are hosting three online events to celebrate the many benefits of reading.
☆Australia Reads Main Event—Wednesday, November 11 from 12:30 pm
☆Australia Reads Kids—Monday, November 9 from 10:30 am

Reading has some little-known benefits including reducing stress by 68%—it even works faster than listening to music, going for a walk or enjoying a cup of tea. What's more, a bedtime story six days a week can put kids almost a year ahead when they start school. If those benefits aren't enough to persuade you to pick up a book just yet, Australia Reads has also kindly donated a bunch of books to give away!
You will be offered FREE books by visiting our friendly team at King George Square bus station, Thursday, November 12 from 7: 30 am.
We'll be giving away a range of adult and kid books to celebrate Australian Reading Hour until we run out of books.

“You’re a smart boy. Benny’s death was no accident, and you’re the only who saw it happen. Do you think the murderer should get away with it?”The boy was starting stubbornly at his lap again.

The boy hesitated, twisting his fingers,“Maybe,”he said quietly.
