Join the Summer Reading Challenge at Thrapston Library
To celebrate the 80th anniversary of everyone’s favourite childhood comic, The Reading Agency have teamed up with the Beano to bring us a summer of mischief and reading with Dennis, Gnasher and friends.
Children will explore a map of Beanotown to find the mysterious buried treasure and become ultimate mischief makers! Dennis, Gnasher and friends will help them solve clues and collect stickers, having lots of fun and adventures along the way!
Studies have shown that children’s reading can ‘dip’ through the long summer holidays if they don’t have regular access to books and encouragement to read for pleasure. The annual Summer Reading Challenge aims to get children reading for enjoyment and promote the use of the fabulous resource that is our local library.
Children can sign up and collect their free Beano poster. The challenge is to read six library books over the summer and collect
special collector cards along the way. When six books have been read they earn a finishers certificate and medal. It’s fun, it’s local and best of all, it’s free!
Just pop along to Thrapston Library and sign up. If you don’t have a library card you can become a member on the day. You don’t need to bring any identification, but under 16’s will need their parent’s permission. Once you have a library card you can start borrowing straight away
and access a wonderful world of books and audio books, as well as our free e-Reads and audio such as e-books and e-magazines.
