Sign the kids up for summer reading with our libraries
Summer is coming but that doesn’t mean our kids’ literacy skills have to slip during the holidays – our libraries have a fantastic summer reading programme!
Children aged five to 11 in Taupō and Turangi can register this week for the Taupō District Libraries Summer Reading Programme 2020/21.
It encourages kids to keep reading during the summer break with incentives for reporting back to our friendly librarians on books the kids are reading.
We also hold a party at the end of the programme for all our participants to attend, where they receive a certificate and a gift!
To find out more and sign up, pop into Taupō or Turangi library this week. Places on the programme are limited, so be quick!
Lest we forget...
