During this ‘Fly me to the Moon’ event, children were enable to enjoy a host of activities which were out of this world, including space themed stories, craft fun (during which they made a flying saucer) and space activity games (by flying saucers to planets to get points for their team).

This summer, Libraries NI is inviting all children aged 4 to 11 to do the Summer Reading Challenge ‘Space Hop’ at all local libraries, including nearby Coleraine, Portrush and Portstewart Libraries.

The aim of the Challenge is to read six library books during the summer holidays and each child will advance as they read through three stages - Blast Off, Space Chase and Lunar Landing. Free resources including foldout sticker charts, glow in the disk wristbands, pencils and spinners will reward each child as they progress. Children completing the Summer Reading Challenge will receive a certificate as well as a voucher for a free DVD loan.

The Summer Reading Challenge is just one of many exciting schemes that Libraries NI is developing to help children love reading. Children age 4 to 11 are invited to call into any local library and sign up to the ‘Space Hop’ Challenge today!
