Children's Book Week at Brimbank Libraries

The Children’s Book Council of Australia Book Week celebrates authors, illustrators, and readers (like you!) throughout Australia.

Join us as we celebrate this year’s theme, Dreaming with Eyes Open. Read books from CBCA’s book lists and log your reading, earn badges, and go into the draw to win prizes!

Visit your nearest Brimbank Library and spot all of the Monarch Butterflies hidden around the library.

Submit your guess for how many butterflies you spot to enter the competition to win a copy of 'Walk of the Whales' and a Lego prize!  

Visit your nearest Brimbank Library and unscramble as many Australian Bird names as you can to go into the running to win copies of ‘Dragon Skin’ by Karen Foxlee and ‘Glasshouse of Stars’ By Shirley Marr.
