A “Summer Reading Challenge” is taking place during the school holidays at Ruddington Library.
The challenge, aimed at 4 to 11 year-olds, is to read six or more books over the summer. It’s hoped that children who take part will become more enthusiastic about reading, maintain their reading level over the holidays and return to school keen and ready to learn. It’s also claimed that the initiative will boost their confidence and self-esteem.
This year’s Summer Reading Challenge is FREE and celebrates 100 years of children’s author Roald Dahl. It’s been called “The Big Friendly Read” and runs from now until Sunday 11th September. Find out more at www.bigfriendlyread.org.uk.
Ruddington Library is open Tuesdays & Thursdays 9am to 1pm then 2pm to 6pm, on Fridays 9am to 1pm then 2pm to 5pm, and on Saturdays 9am to 1pm.
