For our readers and listeners in Australia, June marks the start of Warm Winter Reads, a nationwide library campaign designed to help people make more time for reading over the winter months.

Running throughout winter, the campaign brings together library users across the country to discover new stories, build reading habits, and share what they’re enjoying along the way. 

Warm Winter Reads also coincides with Audiobook Month, making it the perfect time to explore stories in a way that fits around your everyday life. 

 

A shared winter reading experience

Warm Winter Reads is all about participation. It encourages readers to: 

• Pick up a book or audiobook 
• Make time to read or listen each day 
• Share reviews and recommendations 
• Join a wider community of readers across Australia  

And importantly, it recognises that reading is not one-size-fits-all. Whether you are listening on the move or relaxing at home, it all counts. 

 

How to take part with uLibrary

Getting involved is simple: 

• Choose a title from the Warm Winter Reads collection 
• Listen or read at your own pace 
• Leave a review to share what you thought 
• Explore what others are discovering and join the conversation 

It is not about how much you read. It is about making time for it, in a way that works for you. 

 

Discover your next winter listen

The uLibrary Warm Winter Reads collection brings together a wide mix of audiobooks and eBooks to explore, from comforting reads to gripping thrillers.
