The Summer Reading Club 40-Day Challenge is for school-age children 5 – 16 years. The free program, which officially runs from December 1 – January 31, aims to encourage children and young people to read over the long summer break with incentives provided to help them reach their goal. With an emphasis on days spent reading (rather than number of books read) the program is more achievable for all involved.
There is a theme every year. The library holds competitions and additional activities during December and January for registered members to participate in with a presentation and finale party held in February.
