Roslin Library Summer Reading Challenge
Children’s reading can ‘dip’ during the long summer holidays. The annual Summer Reading Challenge helps gets three quarters of a million children into libraries to keep up their reading skills and confidence. Because everything changes when we read.
The Summer Reading Challenge encourages children aged 4 to 11 to read six books during the long summer holiday.
There is a different theme each year. Children can read whatever they like – fact books, joke books, picture books, audio books – just as long as they are borrowed from the library.
Every time children finish a book they get smelly stickers and rewards and there’s a certificate for everyone who finishes.
The Summer Reading Challenge is open to all school children and is designed for all reading abilities.
The theme for the 2015 Summer Reading Challenge is “Record Breakers”

Children who read 6 books will be invited to an Awards Ceremony in Roslin Chapel on 28th August where they will receive a medal & a certificate. Older children may prefer to do the Teen read called ‘Dead Good Read’. Finishers will be entered into a prize draw to win an Amazon voucher.
Please tell your children about this exciting challenge and encourage them to take part and visiting our local library.
