The national Summer Reading Club is coming to the Port and South Hedland libraries this summer for a fun filled adventure.
Created for children and young people pre-school age to 17, the Summer Reading Club is a free program that inspires imaginations and instils a love of libraries and reading.
The 2018 theme, Curious Creatures, encourages eager young readers to discover new worlds as they explore and connect with a curiosity of creatures through a range of interactive activities available in libraries and online.
Participation allows young people to develop a sense of community with other children across the country, no matter how far away they are.
Over 43,000 children in Australia registered with the Summer Reading Club in 2017, reading over 360,000 books between them over the duration of the club. Organisers are hoping participants will crack half a million books in 2018.
Summer Reading Club members can also meet 21 new Australian authors and illustrators online, read their helpful, creative hints and tips and preview exclusives of their up and coming work.
If you would like any further information regarding the Summer Reading Club, please visit the Town of Port Hedland website or talk to the friendly staff at your local library.
