Phlipping Pages to boost reading

Dolphins have teamed up with City of Moreton Bay to launch a new library program to inspire a love of reading, especially among men.

Phlipping the Pages will run across all Moreton Bay libraries until the start of the 2026 NRL season.

It aims to boost engagement and library visits among boys, young men and footy fans by encouraging them to explore programs, events, and resources on offer.

Participants can receive free library cards featuring Dolphins’ players Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, Herbie Farnworth and mascots Phinny and Sandy.

Also attend footy-themed event activations, pose with life-size cutouts of Dolphins players and access the full suite of library resources.

"Our libraries are for everyone and Phlipping the Pages is a fantastic way to make them more accessible and welcoming, especially for boys and young men who may not regularly visit," Mayor Peter Flannery said.

“Although our mighty Dolphins just missed out on the top eight, Phlipping the Pages is a true winner for our community.

“With NAPLAN data revealing boys are twice as likely as girls to score in the lowest performance bands in the literacy domains, working with Dolphins, we’re playing a small but important part in encouraging more people to read.”

Dolphins NRL CEO Terry Reader said the club is “proud to headline Phlipping the Pages to help engage young Dolphins' supporters on the importance of reading."
