Year four pupils from Llanelli’s Stebonheath Primary school will magic up support for the launch of this year’s library summer reading challenge – the ‘Mythical Maze’.
The children will mark ‘Kids Take Over the Library Day’ at Llanelli
Children’s Library this Monday (July 14) with a Jugglestruck session that will include a magic show, balloon modelling and a circus skills workshop, involving stilts, diabolos and juggling equipment.
Carmarthen and Ammanford Libraries will host similar Jugglestruck events and it is hoped that the children will be inspired to return to their local library in the holidays to sign up for the Mythical Maze.
Carmarthenshire Libraries take part in the national summer reading challenge each year and hundreds of children sign up to win prizes as they read and return their books over the holidays. The incentives this year include a fridge magnet, zip-tag and certificate.
Children’s Librarian, Catrin Simon, said: “The reading challenge is a fun way to encourage children to keep up their reading practice through the long summer break. We’ll also be offering lots of free activities over the holidays, so keep a look out for details!” ”
Carmarthenshire Libraries host many events throughout the year, make sure you don’t miss out by following them on Facebook or Twitter alternatively email library@carmarthenshire.gov.uk or call 01267 224824.
