Golden tickets hidden in Pembrokeshire libraries books
Pembrokeshire Libraries have teamed up with Dr Beynon's Bug Farm in St Davids to add an exciting twist to the Summer Reading Challenge.
As part of the Story Garden theme, 32 golden tickets have been hidden in books across the county's libraries.
Children who find these tickets will win free entry to the Bug Farm, a popular destination that combines science, nature, and farming.
The Summer Reading Challenge, a national initiative run by The Reading Agency, encourages children to read at least six library books over the summer holidays.
The aim is to keep children reading during the break, supporting literacy and helping them develop a love for books.
This year, those who sign up early will also receive an extra prize.
Pembrokeshire Libraries are pulling out all the stops to make the Story Garden theme special for children.
To start the fun, local children's author Kerry Curson will be hosting special events at Fishguard, Haverfordwest, and Narberth libraries to launch the challenge and inspire young readers.
Throughout the summer, libraries in Fishguard, Haverfordwest, Milford Haven, Pembroke Dock, and Tenby will be hosting weekly story and craft sessions related to the theme.
These free events aim to keep children engaged, entertained, and learning all summer long.
Reading during the holidays is not only fun but also helps children maintain and improve their reading skills, boosts confidence, and encourages creative thinking.
Parents and children can follow Pembrokeshire Libraries on social media for updates, event listings, and clues about the golden tickets.
The Summer Reading Challenge is more than just about reading; it's a chance for children to explore new worlds, characters, and adventures.
So, visit your local library, get involved in the Summer Reading Challenge, and see if your next book holds the key to a fun day out at Dr Beynon's Bug Farm.
