Why not get along to your local library and sign up for Summer Reading: library opening hours
We have something for all ages so simply register at your nearest library or below to be in with a chance to win some fantastic prizes. There is also a creative competition for you all to take part in.
You can view a list of the prizes here:
Take a look at this promotional video created by Pupils at Inverurie Academy! Pupils talk about how anyone can take part, where to register and about the creative competition.
There are two online forms for participants to fill in and register to take part, one is for children, young adults and families and the other for our adult readers. Staff at your local library can sign you up and you can pick up a collectors card from the library too.
You can also download your card here, to enter Summer Reading for individuals, families and groups. The interactive card makes it easy for you to mark off each circle as you read/listen to a book, attend an event or activity at your local library.
Remember there are lots of library activities taking place in Aberdeenshire which will also count towards ticking off the circles on your collector card.
Once your card is full drop off at your local library or you can send a copy back to us via email: summerreading@aberdeenshire.gov.uk
All completed cards will be entered into a prize draw and be in with a chance to win some fantastic prizes.
Remember to award yourself a certificate for each card you complete.
This year’s creative competition is for all ages, you are invited to create a short fantasy fiction story no more than 750 words. We ask that you also illustrate one of the characters from the story. You can also choose to write a story only or illustrate a fantasy creature only. There are different options for different abilities and ages.
Remember it's not just about physical books, you can sign up to our Libby App and download eBooks and eAudiobooks to read and listen to as part of Summer Reading.
You can access Libby through our Digital Library.
You can explore our Library catalogue for physical books too:
Let everyone know that you are taking part in Summer Reading 2024 and colour in your own 'I'm taking part' poster. Linking to the theme of fantasy, make it as bold and as bright as you want to!
We would love to see what you come up with. Why not post a picture on social media and tag us on Facebook or Twitter?
