Summer Reading

2018-06-28

Summer break is here and while we’re all no doubt looking forward to a long break full of lazy mornings, exciting excursions and some well-deserved relaxing, the holidays are also a prime opportunity to make time for reading. Whether you’re looking to discover new knowledge, explore new worlds or enjoy a captivating story, there’s never any shortage of books, only time to read them. The following summer reading recommendations are courtesy of Wellington’s fantastic librarian, Pippa Jacobi, who has something for every age group, as well as a suggestion for parents too. Enjoy the break and be sure to pick up a book!
