Summer Reading Challenge | 
Book in a Bag |
Offaly Libraries are running 2 events in branch libraries this summer a “Summer Reading challenge” and a “Book in a Bag” promotion. The Summer reading challenge involves children signing up to participate either on a chart or a reading tree in the branch library. Every participant will receive a log book which will be stamped for each book they borrow and return. Children who successfully complete the reading challenge by reading 8 books during the summer will be awarded a certificate in October during the Children’s Book Festival.
Children will be allowed borrow an extra book during the summer months, but there is one catch – they won’t know what they are borrowing! The extra “book in a bag” will be sealed in a bag so borrowers won’t know what kind of book they are taking home. This encourages children to read books they might not normally choose.
Contact your local library for more information.
