Space Hop - Summer Reading Challenge 2010

(Many libraries across Ireland are participating in this reading scheme - please check with your local libray to confirm participation)

Calling all young readers to join the Space Hop Crew and blast off on the Summer Reading Challenge 2010!

South Dublin County Libraries are getting ready to launch children into orbit for an intergalactical adventure that will keep them reading throughout the school summer holidays. And it’s all FREE – which is out-of-this-world news for parents!

Space Hop Summer Reading Challenge is simple – children are encouraged to read six or more books of their choice during the holidays with collectable incentives and rewards, plus a certificate or medal for every child who completes the Challenge.

The Summer Reading Challenge is an immensely popular and successful reading initiative. Now in its twelfth year it reaches 725,000 children aged four to 12 years annually via the UK and Irish library network. It is created and run by The Reading Agency, the independent charity working to inspire more people to read more, and is supported by children’s publishers.
