We Read Auckland 2022 Beanstack challenge prize winners

As part of our We Read Auckland | Ka Pānui Tatau i Tāmaki Makaurau programme, we asked Auckland’s readers to join us on an all-ages reading adventure across Tāmaki Makaurau. 

Open to readers of all ages, customers could read whatever they liked for as long as they wanted, with special encouragement to discover and read books by Auckland’s fabulous authors.

For every 20 minutes of reading logged using the Auckland Libraries Beanstack platform, our readers collected digital badges depicting Tāmaki Makaurau landmarks.

From South Auckland’s Hunua Ranges, readers 'travelled' across the Auckland region from East to West and then over the Harbour Bridge, ending their reading journey in the North at Okakari Point / Goat Island Marine Reserve.

As they read their way across Auckland, discovering local authors and titles along the way, they also earned entries into draws to win prize packs of books by Auckland authors.

Thank you to everyone who joined our reading road trip, and congratulations to all our prize winners!
