School is almost over for the year, but that’s no reason to put down the books.
Avid readers are being encouraged by Moorabool Shire Council to keep reading and take part in a Summer Reading Club challenge these school holidays.
The national challenge encourages students of all ages to read through the summer holidays and win prizes along the way.
The theme for this summer’s challenge is “adventure”, with young readers gearing up for adventure through the pages of their books.
Students need to read 10 books to go into the draw for the major prize of a Nintendo 3DS XL, with a maximum of 10 entries per person.
The preschool prize is a Leapfrog Leap Pad Ultra: the primary prize is a $100 National Geographic gift pack and the secondary prize a $150 Collins Book Store voucher.
Registrations will open on December 1 and readers can register for the challenge for free through any of the Moorabool libraries.
The program will end on Friday, January 16.
Participants who register at a Moorabool library will receive a Summer Reading Club pack that includes stickers, temporary tattoos, wrist bands and bookmarks.
Registrations can also be done online at www.summerreadingclub.org.au.
More prizes are also up for grabs for those who take part in the online writing activities.
For more information, contact Natalie Grero, library programs co-ordinator on 5366 7100 or info@moorabool.vic.gov.au.
