LORELY BURT MP PRESENTS BOOKS TO SUPPORT 'READING MISSION' AT SHIRLEY LIBRARY

12.00.00am UTC (GMT +0000) Mon 7th Aug 2006

Solihull MP, Lorely Burt presented books to youngsters at Shirley Library as part of a drive to encourage more children to read over the summer holidays.

The 'Reading Mission' scheme run by the Reading Agency has proved to be a roaring success, operating in all the borough's libraries.

Over 600 youngsters have already enrolled at Shirley Library alone. Schoolchildren between four and eleven years receive a welcome pack and card to record their reading activities over the summer. Those who read six books in six weeks are awarded a certificate at the library and will also receive a medal when they return to school in the autumn term.

"This is a fantastic scheme that encourages youngsters to read during the long summer holidays when they are away from school. Reading for pleasure is so rewarding for children and will open many more doors during adult life. I was pleased to be able to present books to support the scheme and add to the stock of stories available at Shirley Library."
