Marlborough District Libraries Summer Reading Programme is returning from Friday 16 December.

This popular programme is free and is for children aged 5 to 12 years old.

There are no limits on numbers this year so everyone can participate.

To register parents or caregivers simply need to visit the library - children do not need to be present. Those who register will receive an information pack and folder where reading is recorded.

To complete the Summer Reading Programme children need to complete four Book Briefs and visit the library with each brief to collect a prize between 16 December and 27 January.

Children who complete all four Book Briefs are awarded a book prize and a certificate.
