A FREE summer reading challenge has been launched for youngsters in York.
The free reading challenge, which was launched at York Explore, encourages children aged four to 12 to join in and read six books over the summer holidays.
During the summer challenge there will be plenty of incentives and prizes, and lots of ideas for good books to read and special activities.
Sarah Garbacz, library service delivery manager at City of York Council, said: “It’s really important that during the summer holidays children continue reading and using their creative imaginations. So, this year’s space-themed Summer Reading Challenge is a great way for youngsters to take part in a range of fun filled activities, while at the same time discovering the joy in reading for pleasure.”
For more information about the challenge visit york.gov.uk/libraries or ask any member of staff at the nearest Explore Centre or library.
