SUMMER READING BUZZ
dlr Libraries will be
running the very popular ‘Summer Reading Buzz' across the summer months in
2014.
This will be our third
year running this hugely popular reading initiative and our numbers have been
growing year on year with 1200 registering in 2013 and over 630 certificates
issued upon completion of the Summer Reading Buzz.
This initiative is a
great way to keep children reading during the summer months, which not only
develops their literacy skills, building on the learning they have acquired
during the school year but also encourages a raft of other skills through
reading, such as, introducing concepts, stimulating imagination, boosting
confidence, the list goes on.
Starting on Wed 11th
June, children can go to their local dlr library and register. They are given a
membership card for the 'Summer Reading Buzz' and given stamps each time they
read a book. There are incentives given all along the way. When children have
read ten books, they post their membership card in the hives in branch
libraries and all are entered into a draw for some great prizes. Children can
enter the buzz as many times as they like, the more the better!
Another reading initiative that gives great support and encouragement to our young readers is: www.readingchampions.ie
