Registration is underway for Lambton County Library's 2024 Summer Reading Challenge.
The free annual event is open to people of all ages and incentivizes people to read and take part in free activities and games for a chance to win prizes.
Youth Public Services Coordinator Vanitia Campbell said the challenge will run from July 2 to August 11.
“While it is fun to have a two-month break from studies at school, it is still important that students keep their literacy skills up during the summer and that students do not lose the skills they worked so hard to develop during the school year,” said Campbell. “The theme of this year’s Summer Reading Challenge is Tales Through Time, and we’ve designed a fun program that encourages kids to read, rewards reading and completing activities with prizes, and offers a range of in-person free events to provide places for kids to socialize and learn with their peers.”
Those wanting to participate are asked to sign up online with Beanstack -- a user-friendly platform with a website and mobile app -- or visit any Lambton County Library location during operating hours.
Once registered, participants aged 0-17 can pick up a kit from any Lambton County Library location.
