The Challenge has begun! Register now at your nearest Swindon Library…
Once again Swindon Libraries are taking part in the Six Book Challenge and would like to build on the success of the previous two years by getting even more people to take part.
The Six Book Challenge invites less confident readers to read six books and record their reading in a diary. There are goodies to pick up when you return your books and get your diaries stamped - including pens, keyrings and vouchers for free DVD rentals. For those that complete the Challenge there’s also the chance to win even better prizes such as book tokens and entry into a national prize draw.
It is a national initiative run by the Reading Agency and is supported by an official website:
www.sixbookchallenge.org.uk
It’s now the third year of the Six Book Challenge and it's getting bigger and better. 9000 people registered last year through libraries, colleges, adult education, prisons and workplaces. In Swindon we had over 80 participants. For 2010 we are hoping to roll the challenge out further and include workplaces as well as colleges and other learning providers.
This year's challenge launched with a party at the Central library on the 21st January 2010. There will be more events to come so don't miss out!
You have until mid June to complete the Challenge, so to be in with a chance of winning the prizes don't delay, get reading today!
If you want to get your college, workplace or organisation involved as a partner to Swindon Libraries please get in touch with me as soon as possible.
If you want to take up the Challenge yourself register at any Swindon library or contact me for more information.
