Dear Parent/Carer,
Your child is invited to sign up for this year’s Winter Reading Challenge at your local library!
What is the Winter Reading Challenge?
The Winter Reading Challenge is a fun activity put together by Essex Library Service for children aged 0-12. It encourages children and families to keep reading over the winter and to visit their local library.
To do this children complete 6 challenges (from a list of 12), and it’s FREE to take part. Their mission is to help some lost dragons make their way home before they get too cold!
How can my child take part?
Visit your local library to sign up. Your child will:
- Receive their Challenge folder
- Choose 6 challenges to complete (from a list of 12)
- Earn a sticker for each challenge they complete
- When they’ve complete 6 challenges they will receive a certificate and a pencil prize and they will be able to enter our prize draw – with the chance to win bigger prizes such as tablets, book tokens and arts and crafts packs
When?
The challenge starts on 2 January and runs through to the end of the February half term on 22 February. Unsure where your closest library is – use the Essex Library Service website to check.
Head to your local library this winter and sign up! You can find out more about the challenge on the library website and if you have any questions, please ask staff in the library.
We look forward to seeing you!
Best wishes
Essex Library Service
