Team Read – The Annual Summer Reading Challenge

Kids Get Active And Get Reading This Summer

Norfolk Libraries are on their marks and getting ready to ‘get, set, go’ to keep young people active and reading through the summer holidays.  

It’s simple – children are challenged to visit their library and read any six books during the summer. Those taking part in the challenge receive a special pack and a set of incentives to collect as they read. This year the pack and giveaways have a sports theme and we’re encouraging sports teams and clubs to spread the word or even have a go together. On completing their six books team readers will receive a certificate and medal for their efforts. So you can get your very own reading medal while athletes are winning theirs in Beijing.

Library staff are preparing to act as team coaches, and an interactive Team Read website will link children with top authors and illustrators whilst giving them the space to talk about their favourite books and share reading ideas. 

Hunstanton Library will be launching ‘Team Read’ on Wednesday 23rd July from 10am, so come along and take up the challenge.

Special holiday events include:

Team Read Challenge event
Thursday 7 August 2-4pm for 6-11 year olds and their families

Monday 18 August 2-3pm

Places are limited so please contact the library on (01485) 532280
