Read to Succeed - teen reading challenge kicks off this week

Rodney Libraries are celebrating Youth Week with the launch of their teen reading challenge. Called "Read to Succeed" the programme is aimed at students in Years 9 to 13. The Challenge will run throughout Terms 2 and 3. All teens have to do is to read five books across a range of genres by the end of Term 3. (This is also part of the requirements for NCEA English - how convenient...)

Entry forms can be obtained from Rodney Libraries or local college libraries. The form must be completed and signed by a parent, teacher or a librarian each time a book has been read. Once five books have been completed and signed off, teens should drop their entry form into the library. Successful entrants will qualify to go into a draw to win an iPOD and other prizes. Prize winners will be notified at the beginning of Term 4.

For more information pick up one of the flyers or ask a librarian.
