The Hills Shire Library’s Year One Reading Club Turns 25

Year One Reading Club is celebrating a quarter-century of helping children develop a love of reading.

Mayor of The Hills Shire Dr Peter Gangemi reflected on the milestone.

“I would like to congratulate everyone who has been involved with the Year One Reading Club over the last 25 years on this incredible milestone,” Mayor Gangemi said.

“Since 1999, the Year One Reading Club has promoted literacy and ignited the imaginations of over 17,000 Year One students.

“It’s such an important stage for children to soak up all the learning they can, and the Year One Reading Club helps make reading an enjoyable habit.”

“It’s a fantastic program, and I’m encouraging new members to join.” Year One Reading Club is free to join at any of The Hills Shire Library branches at Baulkham Hills, Castle Hill, Dural and Rouse Hill.

Participants receive a logbook when they join, then a sticker each time they visit their local library to borrow, as well as rewards along the way.

To sign up, visit one of The Hills Shire Library branches before Thursday, 31st October 2024.
