THE Record Breakers’ Summer Reading Challenge has started in Thurrock Council’s libraries.
Now is he time to join the free reading fun and collect smelly stickers, a Record Breakers zip tag and – for reading six books – a medal and a certificate.
For those who read eight books a red Record Breakers book bag is up for grabs.
The Summer Reading challenge runs until 5 September and there is also a mini reading challenge for pre-school children and an older one for young adults called Imagination. They are free to join and take part in.
