Summer Reading Challenge - Volunteers Wanted!
13/04/2012
Northamptonshire Libraries
(England) are looking for a team
of volunteers aged between 14
and 17 to act as reading buddies
to younger children taking part in
the Summer Reading Challenge
this summer. We have a network
of 36 libraries across the county
so there is a good chance there is one close to you.
All our libraries offer the summer reading challenge
starting on Saturday 14th July and running throughout the
summer holidays.
What is involved?
The theme this year is \\'Story Lab\\'. The idea of the
challenge is to read for fun, and get rewards (collector
cards, stickers, medal and certificate) for taking part.
The reading buddies will be on hand to join children to the
challenge, talk to them about what they have read, help
them choose other books to read, assist with activities or
just to help them enjoy the experience of visiting the
library.
a. Volunteers will be offered training and will be
asked to commit to 10-15 hours (or more)
volunteer activity over the summer holiday in their
local library.
b. Training will be offered in late June/early July at
several locations around the county.
c. Volunteers will receive a certificate to show they
have taken part.
