Mount Gambier Library's Summer Reading Club returns commencing Monday 9 December 2024. This year's theme is 'Out of this World' with children and youth offered the opportunity to participate in various challenges throughout the six-week program.
"With more than 300 registrations last year, we are excited to host our popular Summer Reading Club once again. Participating in this program encourages children to engage with reading during the school holiday break, while also having fun by taking part in a variety of challenges and activities," Library Team Leader Children and Youth Services Erin Jones said.
"Challenges range from being reading based, to exploring some of the many other Library resources, visiting the Riddoch Arts and Cultural Centre, or quizzing Library staff for book recommendations," Mrs Jones said.
This year the club is open to four age levels - 0-5 years, 6-9 years, 10-13 years, and 14+ years. Registrations will be completed at the Library and upon registering all age groups will receive a weekly challenge card.
Once the weekly challenge card is complete, members visit the Library to go into the weekly prize draw sponsored by the Friends of the Library Mount Gambier. Prizes will be on display at the Library and weekly winners have the opportunity to select their own prize.
"We have lots of exciting prizes on offer, and we are so fortunate to have the Friends of the Library continue to sponsor this exciting and engaging program," - Mrs Jones said.
