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.
Children are invited to complete 6 challenges from a list of 12 reading and creative activities, and it’s FREE to take part. Their mission is to help some friendly animals that work in different professions across Essex!
How can my child take part?
Visit your local library to sign up. Your child will:
- Receive their Challenge sheet
- 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 they will be able to enter our prize draw – with the chance to win bigger prizes such as Kindles, book tokens and toys
When?
The challenge starts on Saturday 10 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
