The Summer Reading Challenge 2022

 

 

 

The Summer Reading Challenge is run by The Reading Agency, partnered this year by The Science Museum.  The theme was ‘Gadgeteer’s’, with an emphasis on everyday science.  Our science activity table and other craft activities proved popular.

 

 

 

 

 


To complete the challenge each child had to read 6 books of their choice and review them with one of our volunteers.  Stickers were collected over the 6 weeks of the school holidays, and added to their collector’s poster.

We had a very good response with fifty four children signing up. Thirty one completed the main challenge and 4 children completed the mini challenge.

Book Club

Our friendly Book Club meets on the third Tuesday of the month in the Library at 3.30pm. We welcome anyone who enjoys reading and likes
talking about books. We don't do 'lit crit' but we discuss why we like/didn't like the book choice. We exchange tips on recent reads that we think others might enjoy, and then wander on to a wide range of subjects. You don't have to buy the books – we take turns to choose a book from a Cambridgeshire Libraries multi-copy list. If you are interested in joining us, send a request to Sally via info@haddenhamlibrarycambs.co.uk or give your contact details to a Library Volunteer.

 

Upcoming read:

Next month's book, also set in the 1930s, is the polar opposite of Hemingway's: 'Cold Comfort Farm' by Stella Gibbons, allegedly (according to its blurb) "probably the funniest book ever written". We'll be meeting on 19th May to discuss it. As always, everyone is welcome, and we can supply the book in advance.

To join us, speak to a Library volunteer, or drop a line to info@haddenhamlibrarycambs.co.uk.
