Summer reading programme heats up
Looking for something to do with the kids for the holidays?
It’s that time of year when budding young readers can register for Marlborough District Libraries’ Summer Reading Programme.
Children need to visit the library four times between Monday 9 December 2019 and Friday 17 January 2020.
They receive a prize after each visit and those who complete the programme are awarded a book prize and certificate.
Registrations open at 9.00 am on Monday 9 December. The programme is free and designed for children aged five to 12 years old.
A parent or caregiver must visit the library to register.
