Dare you enter the Creepy House? What will you discover in The Awful Upstairs, The Gruesome Ground Floor and The Spinetingling Cellar? And which spooky residents are you going to bump into? Get prizes and rewards along the way and a certificate and medal if you read 6 books over the summer holidays. Children keep track of the books they read and receive encouragement to keep reading all summer long. Libraries have lots of special events during the holidays, and it’s a great place to meet and make new friends. A regular trip to the library becomes a highlight of the holidays. It’s great fun for the kids and what’s more, it’s all free. “The reading challenge was a brilliant idea.
I have two ‘reluctant readers’ and the challenge
has motivated them to read during the holidays
for pleasure.”
Parent “I thought [the reading challenge] was fun because it was exciting when I got onto a new level. I am proud of myself for getting gold. I will try to do the reading challenge next year.” Look out for news about the 2013 Summer Reading Challenge on the library web pages and in your local library.
