National Year of Reading Wrap-up
It’s been a jam-packed, busy and inspirational National Year of Reading 2012, but we finally made it! With hundreds of successful projects, programs and events throughout the year, it has truly been an amazing year for reading.
WeVideo Review
Summary
This year, the Love2ReadTV project has been fortunate to receive the support of WeVideo, a leading cloud-based video editing solution. With entries and editing being performed from various locations around Australia, it was important to have easy access to all video editing files at any time.
December theme: love2read
2012 has been a very big year. A packed NYR12 event calendar, combined with the inspiring support of so many libraries, organisations and individuals, has made it a year to be remembered.
This month, our reading theme is love2read. Fittingly, it’s been the main message this entire National Year of Reading. The love2read flower has made its way to many libraries across Australia, as well as bookshops, cars and cafes.
When we think about this theme, we should be considering how the National Year of Reading has changed us. Perhaps you’ve tried a genre you’ve never ventured towards, or perhaps you’ve been inspired to read. And as we enter the Christmas season, remember there’s nothing better than the gift of literacy. Ideas include:-
- The obvious one is a good book
- Giving audiobooks
- Donating to a worthy cause
- Spending time with family, sharing a good story
- Verbal storytelling
- And many more
It’s been a big year, and shortly I’ll post a recap of this year’s NYR12 thoughts. Make sure you subscribe (see right) to receive an email when it’s published.

Cry…NYR Theme for November
The National Year of Reading 2012 theme is Cry.
I know what you’re feeling right now. You’re feeling sad just because of this month’s theme. Time to change the stigma!
This month, you don’t have to be sad or miserable if you don’t want to. You might cry out of laughter, or have tears of enjoyment drop onto your cheeks when you finish a good book. Remember, the best books are the ones which make you feel different after you finish.
Some people also cry when they achieve a goal. Think about olympic champions and race finalists. What reading goals will you set this month to make you cry?

NYR Theme for October – Explore!
Finally it’s that last quarter of the year. This month, the National Year of Reading theme is Explore. There are lots of ways which we can explore through reading; fantasy, science fiction, biographies, science and travel magazines, just to name a few. But what are some other interpretations of Explore?

End of September: Thinking about GROW…
When August 2012 started, and the NYR theme changed from Question to Grow, it got me thinking. Is it through questioning that we grow?
