Young bookworms get ready to open a new chapter at Kerry libraries
K
KILLARNEY LIBRARY is a hive of activity these times as the Summer Stars Reading Adventure unfolds at Kerry libraries.
The Summer Stars Reading Adventure is an exciting reading-based programme which is available free of charge to primary school children across Kerry.
The Summer Stars Reading Adventure will run during July and August in the Kerry Library Service. Children are invited to register for the adventure and enjoy reading the eight books required as part of the programme. All participants will be given a Summer Stars Reading Card to record and track their own progress. Reading cards are available at all libraries.
At the end of the programme a prize-giving ceremony will take place at the each library whereby successful participants of the adventure will be presented with a Certificate of Completion and a prize pack.
Everyone is invited to check out the Summer Stars website at www.summerstars.ie which has lots of online games and activities as well as a range of animated e-books. It features a children’s books discussion board and interviews with well-known people about their favourite books. There are also helpful tips for reading and recommended titles by age group for children to read.
These books can then be borrowed from your local library. And it’s all free! For more information, contact your local library.
