Background
ALIA is delighted to present this year's Summer Reading Club from 1 December 2009 to 12 February 2010. Most public libraries throughout Australia will offer a Summer Reading Club and holiday activities for children aged five years and older and their families over the summer break.
Why hold a summer reading club?
- Summer reading helps students return to school in the new year ready to learn and with greater reading fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
- The materials are ready to use and the program is flexible to allow it to be tailored to your library environment and your clients.
- Holiday activities can be incorporated as part of the club at your library.
- Maintain or even increase library use by children and their families over the summer break.
- Create excitement in children about reading for leisure;
- By combining reading and other activities dispel the myth that libraries are boring places and that reading is only ever done alone.
- Provide reading support to families through booklists, and sharing your knowledge and expertise.
