Young reader rewarded for efforts

Spalding Library has presented a prize to a young reader.

Alejandro Holmes took part in the Reading Agency’s Summer Reading Challenge, which is rolled out to young readers each year by Lincolnshire County Council’s Library Service.

Children aged from four to 11 were invited to read six books of their choice through the summer holidays and receive small incentives to encourage them with their reading.

All of the children who completed the Summer Reading Challenge were entered into a prize draw.

Alejandro won £50 worth of book vouchers.

Sharman Morriss, Spalding library team leader, said: “Alejandro has worked really hard with his reading; it’s good to know that the Library Service can make such a difference to people, young and old.

“The staff at Spalding Library work hard to encourage younger readers and make the library a fun place to visit.”
