Hutt Kids Love Their Books This Summer
Hutt Kids Love Their Books This Summer
Over 600 children took part in Hutt City Libraries’ Big Read programme, reading more than 3800 books over summer.
As part of the programme over 870 challenges were also completed, including a family who set up science experiments on their driveway, and one child writing their own book about their family.
Hutt City Libraries Manager Sandra Mann said, “Feedback from families has been fantastic. Parents have said they appreciate their children having something to do in the Hutt over summer. We’ve also had lots of families pleased kids can take the books with them on holidays. Kids have excitedly emailed us about their reading while tramping on Stewart Island and hanging out in Rotorua!
“More children took part this year, but the biggest thing was that they each read more and completed more challenges. Our Certificates of Achievement will be heading out to schools this month.”
