Summer Reading Challenge
July 21, 2010
This year’s Summer Reading Challenge takes children on a cosmic journey through books and stories. The story follows three children as they attempt to set up the first lunar library on the moon.
As before children will be challenged to read up to six books from their local library. They will collect different rewards at each stage, culminating in a certificate and medal for those that complete the Challenge.
Children can register for Space Hop in any library in West Sussex from Saturday 17th July
The scheme runs throughout the summer holidays with the final date for completion Saturday 11th September
The scheme is aimed at 4-12 year-olds and is FREE to join
After reading their first books children will receive a hologram membership card and pull-out poster to collect their stickers
There are three sets of ‘scratch & sniff’ stickers to collect, plus a bookmark, certificate and medal
Younger children under-four can join in the fun by taking part in the Space Hop Bookstart Bookcrawl to earn a special alien-themed certificate
There will also be a variety of fun, space-themed events taking place in libraries – check the website for details
To help run the Challenge libraries need the help of young people to volunteer in their local library. Young people will be asked to help register children, handout stickers and other rewards and also encourage the children to read more and complete the Challenge. To find out more visit your local library or check the website.
