Summer Reading Challenge 2019
This starts on Saturday 13 July and this year's theme is Space Chase. The Challenge is for children aged 4-11yrs to read six books in the six weeks of the summer holidays. This year we have purchased all the recommended titles from the Reading Agency list (71 books). You can borrow and read any book in the library to complete the Challenge. If you borrow the recommended reads please return then as soon as possible so that others can enjoy them. We do hope that families will support this initiative which is intended to help develop that life-long love of discovery through reading that is so important for us all. |
