Library service WINTER CHALLENGE

Hampshire Libraries Winter Reading Challenge

Hampshire Libraries is encouraging all primary school children to take part in this year’s Winter Reading Challenge which kicked off yesterday, Monday 11 January. This year’s Winter Reading Challenge is all about getting cosy together to share the love of reading.

There are thousands of children’s ebooks and audiobooks free to download using Hampshire Libraries BorrowBox service with lots of titles always available without a wait. To use BorrowBox, you need a library membership number and PIN. There are links to some of our recommendations on the Kids’ Zone webpage as well as information about downloading ebooks and audiobooks. As well as our own eplatform app. https://waterside-hantssls.eplatform.co/

Children can also use Hampshire Libraries’ new Ready Reads: We Select You Collect service to borrow books. Library staff will regularly handpick a selection of books for those that request the service to collect from the entrance of their local library. Users can choose how often and how many books they’d like.

Teachers, parents and carers will find details of the Winter Reading Challenge on the library service’s new Kids’ Zone website. Children can register to take part online and keep a record of the books they’ve read. A collectors’ sticker folder is also available for those children who can’t easily access online services.

To complete the challenge, children will read or listen to any four books before the end of the February half-term. This can include books they read or listen to together, bedtime stories, non-fiction books, ebooks and audiobooks. Every time they finish a book, they fill in an online Winter Reading Challenge reading record.

Children will be emailed a completer’s certificate when they’ve reached a total of four books in their Winter Reading Challenge reading record. They’ll be sent emails along the way, when they add a new book to their record.

If children aren’t already a member of Hampshire Libraries, they can join to take part.
