Our Matariki Winter reading campaign is just around the corner. Mānawatia a Matariki mā te pānui i tēnei hōtoke – celebrate Matariki with some winter reading.

In February, we launched our 2023 Māori and Pasifika Books campaign. It’s been an excellent example of the book sector collaboration The Coalition for Books has come to stand for as an organisation.

Kete Books and Storylines have launched a new monthly bestseller list to help showcase and promote the excellent junior and young adult fiction books written and published in Aotearoa New Zealand.

We’ve designed a fresh new set of sharable social media images to showcase the breadth and depth of the books in our 2023 Māori and Pasifika Books catalogue. Help us spread the word.

Enjoy our NZ Summer Reading Guide 2022.

We’re holding a month-long online talanoa from mid-September asking creative Moana communities for feedback.
