WHAT A GOOD READ ….

During the school Summer Holidays a Reading Challenge takes place at local libraries across the country.  It is aimed at 4-11 year olds and they are set a challenge to try and read six books over the summer. Each year there is a theme and as the children read they earn themselves collectable incentives and rewards. Last summer (2012) when the theme was “Storylab”, 104 children who are all members of the Ruddington library, took part. As it was the Olympic year the incentive was to read 6 books in order to receive a certificate and gold medal and 65 children rose to the challenge. This achievement also won Ruddington library a Silver award for a 10% improvement on their 2011 results.
The Library team wanted to say “Well done” to everyone who attended the Library activities and enjoyed the challenge. They also said it won’t be long until the summer so look out for the next Summer Reading Challenge with a theme of “Creepy House……!”
Don’t forget it is FREE to join the library whatever your age so why not pop in and become a member next time you are in the village. Just remember they are closed on Monday and Wednesdays.                         By Barbara Breakwell)
