The Six Book Challenge final post

The Six Book Challenge in Suffolk has been a great success. Over 700 people have participated through libraries, prisons, literacy groups, children's centres and workplaces. Some places are continuing with the Challenge over the Summer but the official completion date has now passed. The feedback has been very positive with lots of participants feeling that they are now more confident with reading and others that they have experienced genres that would never normally have read.

We will continue to update you on our Suffolk READS Blog


A big thank you to all of you who have taken part in the 2010 Six Book Challenge.

Sharing Stories - Chantry Library

Congratulations to members of the Sharing Stories group which meets at Chantry library who completed their Six Book Challenge this week. The group read Dr Who and the Sontarans and the Dare by John Boyne together and also chose books from the library to read at home.

Supporting the challenge

All 44 of Suffolk's libraries will be supporting the Six Book Challenge during 2010. If you are interested in running the challenge and want to find out more, get in touch with your local library.
