What Is The World's Coolest Readathon?

If you love books and believe in the healing power of reading, The World’s Coolest Readathon (TWCR) is for you. It’s a virtual, nationwide reading challenge organised by the Australian Bibliotherapy Foundation (ABF). The goal? Bring together readers from across Australia to read, share and fundraise — all to support mental-health and bibliotherapy programs. 

Why It Matters? Supporting Mental Health Through Reading

The Readathon is more than just a reading challenge: it’s a fundraiser and an initiative to promote mental wellbeing through the power of books. The ABF is dedicated to bibliotherapy — using reading as a tool to reduce stress, build resilience, and support mental health for everyday Australians, veterans, first responders, and communities in need.

By participating whether by reading, donating, or spreading the word you help fund programs such as community libraries, reading groups and other bibliotherapy resources.
