| When does it start? |
| The Summer Reading Challenge this year is Team Read and it runs from Monday 21st July - Saturday 27th September 2008 at all libraries and on all mobile libraries during normal opening hours. Please be advised that we have a limited number of packs available so register at your local library as soon as you can after the start date. |
| Who can take part? |
| Team Read is for children aged 4-11 year olds. It's your chance to take up a challenge that will stretch you to the max! You need to be a member of the library service to take part. |
| What do you have to do? |
| When you join Team Read you will receive an amazing 'moving image' membership card. Read your way through the bronze and silver levels to collect a fold-out poster of Team Read stadium, stickers and other goodies! If you read 6 books and finish the race you'll receive a cool certificate and an invitation to a special ceremony in the autumn to get a gold medal (see individual libraries for dates)! There is a special Team Read website www.teamread.co.uk with loads of author blogs, games and activities - you can look from home or from the library (you will need your parent's permission). |
| Extreme Team Read for young people aged 11-12 year olds |
| For the first time this year we are running Extreme Team Read for older readers! Register at the library to pick up a hologram credit card with a personal keycode to access the exclusive website zone. |
| Bookstart Book Crawl for 0-4 year olds |
| Pre-school children can also join in the summer fun! Each time your child borrows books on their own library ticket and returns them to the library, we will give them a special sticker. When they have collected 4 stickers they will receive a brilliant Team Read Certificate |
