Dive Into The Magic Of The Written Word With The Summer Reading Club!

The Hinchinbrook Shire Library are gearing up for another enriching school holidays filled with enjoyment and education following the launch of their annual Summer Reading Program on Monday 9 December.

Students aged between six to twelve years are encouraged to sign up for the free program to discover the enchanting world of the written word, with an awesome, Fitbit Inspire Tracker awarded to the student with the highest reading logbook! With each student’s entry, they’re also placed into a fantastic raffle set to be drawn at the program’s conclusion for one lucky reader’s opportunity to win a Yeti 769ml Straw Bottle.

“The program is a great way to encourage children to read over the holidays, and have fun while doing it,” explained Kelannei of the Hinchinbrook Shire Library.

It should come as no surprise that fostering a love of reading at a young age produces a world of benefits in the areas relating to language growth, imagination, creativity, and academic advancement. What better time to introduce or build upon such a wonderful habit than during these summer school holidays?

Over the course of the school holidays, students are to record and track each book read in their logbook available at www.library.hinchinbrook.qld.gov, allowing the program to stand as a positive, and measurable tool regarding your child’s literacy engagement.

On Friday 24 January, the program’s participants are invited to attend a celebratory Summer Reading Party where each of the winners will be announced, and each student will be presented with an Encouragement Award for their commitment and dedication.
