Treasure Hunters October 2023 reading challenge prize winners

In the October school holidays, we ran the Treasure Hunters reading challenge for tamariki on Auckland Libraries Beanstack.

Our young readers explored secret sites and treasure troves with our awesome school holiday activities and read lots of inspiring and adventurous books. As they read, they earned Treasure Hunter badges and entries into our prize draws.

Together, our Treasure Hunter readers across Tāmaki Makaurau logged 1451 days of reading over two weeks!
