Summer Reading Club

Campbelltown City Library is pleased to announce that the Summer Reading Club will once again be taking place throughout December and January. We are inviting children and their families to come in and join in the fun. The Summer Reading Club is open to young people up to 16 years of age.

The holidays are all about fun and adventure, and this year’s Summer Reading Club is aimed at encouraging children to find both – in the pages of books. This year’s ‘Adventure’ theme will see children choose their own adventure as they explore the library shelves.

Registrations will open on Monday 1 December.  You can visit any Campbelltown City Library branch to register and all participants will receive a Summer Reading Club starter bag and a prize from our lucky dip. Registrations are also available online through the Summer Reading Club interactive website http://www.summerreadingclub.org.au/

Read as much as you can and return your reading logs to any Campbelltown City Library branch to go in to the draw as there are some great prizes on offer.

Reading for the Summer Reading Club will end on Sunday 18 January. To celebrate the end of the Summer Reading Club we will be hosting parties at all Campbelltown City Library branches on Thursday 22 January so look out for your invitation in the mail!

We look forward to seeing you in the library – happy reading!
