New at Ōtorohanga District Library - The Next Chapter

This new programme was created in collaboration with students from the Ōtorohanga College.

Love books? Like earning cool stuff? Then this is your kind of challenge!

Introducing out "The Next Chapter" challenge - an ongoing programme for 12-18 year-olds, where you earn collectible badges just for reading!

Here's how it works:

Each time you reach a reading milestone (25 books, 50 books, 75 books, and more) you'll unlock a limited-edition badge to collect and keep.

The more you read, the more you earn - it's that simple!

  • Read books, log them, earn badges
  • Fun surprises along the way
  • Open to teens across the Ōtorohanga district
  • Any book you read counts
  • It's totally free to join!

Dive into great books, explore new genres, and earn awesome collectible badges along the way. Whether you're a fantasy fanatic, a mystery lover, or just looking for your next great read, there's something for everyone.
