Summer Reading
Programme 2009/10
”Dive into
books” this summer – that’s the message from Clutha District Libraries as it
launches its Summer Reading Programme for primary school-aged children.
Children and
Teen’s Librarian Vicki Woodrow said that thanks to sponsorship from The Trusts
Charitable Foundation, all Clutha District libraries are again offering the
free, incentive based reading programme these summer holidays.
Each child sets
their own reading target, with incentives along the way and a book prize for
those who reach their reading goals.
“The reading
programme is being run under the theme of ‘Dive Into Books’ this summer,” Ms
Woodrow said. “The idea is to encourage all Year 1 to Year 8 children to keep
reading while they’re off school these summer holidays and to have some fun
along the way.”
Registrations
open at all district libraries – Balclutha, Lawrence, Milton, Owaka and Tapanui
– on Monday 23 November and close on 23 December 2009. |
