Slide into Summer Reading at your local library
Children across Northern Ireland are sliding into summer reading for this year’s Big Summer Read. The annual reading initiative is a free programme which encourages children and teens to continue reading throughout the summer months.
Libraries NI is inviting children aged 15 and under to sign up to the Big Summer Read by calling into any of the public or mobile libraries across Northern Ireland. Educational, fun activities is an important feature of the initiative with free events and workshops including Storytime and Crafts, Lego, Teddy Bears Picnic and Everyday First Aid running in libraries across Northern Ireland throughout July and August!
A reading chart and record card will be given to every child on their first visit to the library during July and August. Throughout the summer, children are invited to read as many books as possible recording each book on their reading chart. At the end of the summer, participants will receive a special certificate in recognition of their reading achievement.
For more information on the Big Summer Read, details of free events and activities taking place in your local library and how you can sign up today, call into your nearest library or go to the Libraries NI website www.librariesni.org.uk
