News from Peterborough City Council

The Summer Reading Challenge^tm has been running as Team Read in Peterborough libraries throughout the school holidays with children racing to read six books to earn their very own gold medal.

 

With the finishing date of Saturday 6 September fast approaching, children taking part in Team Read are being urged to pull out all the stops and race towards the finishing line to earn their gold medal and the chance to meet famous author Narinda Dhami.

 

An awards ceremony will be held on Saturday 11 October at the Broadway Theatre in Peterborough to congratulate those that have achieved the goal of reading six books over the holidays. There is still two weeks to go and if children would like to join up all they have to do is visit their local library to take part. At this late stage children are advised to read something quick to get them to finish in time.

 

Peterborough libraries are full of ideal titles ranging from 'Where's Wally?' to picture books for older readers such as 'High in the clouds' written by Paul McCartney. Each book read will count as everybody races towards the finishing line before the closing date of Saturday 6 September.
