Reading stars at the library

Louth County Libraries will run the Summer Stars Reading Programme for children in all library branches during the summer months from mid June to the end of August. Research shows that children who maintain their reading levels throughout the holiday period return to school in September well equipped for the challenges of the new school year.

Summer Stars is an exciting reading based programme which is available free of charge to all children in County Louth. All children are invited to register for the programme, there will be lots of incentives along the way to encourage reading and a host of fun events are planned throughout the library branches to complement the programme.

At the end of the challenge, all children who participate are invited to attend a closing ceremony where they will be presented with their certificate of participation.

You can follow Summer Stars on Twitter @Starsreading and on the library Facebook page www.facebook.com/louthcoun-tylibraries.
