Step into the Creepy House at your local library
Thursday, 13 June 2013 13:50
Libraries across Dumfries and Galloway are getting ready to introduce children to the Creepy House. Step into the Creepy House and children are off on an imaginative adventure that will keep them reading throughout the school summer holidays
From the 15th June all local libraries and mobile libraries will be inviting their young readers to take part in the Tesco Bank Summer Reading Challenge Scotland – Creepy House. It’s all free and it’s fun, which is great news for parents. Last year's Summer Reading Challenge, Story Lab, was a great success and this year’s promises to be just as popular.
Children are invited to join the gang of explorers as they work their way through three thrilling floors of fun. Help discover the secrets of the house by reading library books, and keep track of the action on a special fold-out poster. During the course of the summer holidays children are encouraged to borrow and read six books from their local library in return for goodies such as wristbands, bookmarks, keyrings and fridge magnets. Every child who completes the challenge will be given a certificate and medal.
Just pop down to your local library from the 15th June to register for free. It’s a scream!
