Summer fun with launch of LINC Reading Club

Summer is a perfect time for children to dive into reading and explore books on a huge range of topics in LINC Tasmania’s Summer Reading Club.

LINC Tasmania invites children and families to discover heroes, villains, sidekicks and more by participating in the Summer Reading Club these school holidays.

The Tasmanian Government is committed to lifting education standards in Tasmania and encouraging our children or grandchildren to join in the fun by becoming reading heroes over the long summer break.

Young readers will be encouraged to engage with a variety of traditional and non-traditional heroes and heroines by exploring a variety of books and participating in local activities in LINCs across the state.

The fun will continue online www.linc.tas.gov.au with plenty of opportunities to keep young readers inspired throughout the holidays. Great prizes are up for grabs, including a chance to win an iPad mini through your local LINC or Library.

The Summer Reading Club is  delivered  nationally,  giving  participants  the  opportunity  to connect  with  reader’s  right  across  the  country.  Last year over 48,000 Australian children registered for the Summer Reading Club and collectively read more than 333,000 books.

The Summer Reading Club runs from 1 December 2016 until 31 January 2017.

For more details about the Summer Reading Club contact your local LINC or library, or visit the LINC Tasmania website at www.linc.tas.gov.au .
