A quick further note on Cllr Paul Lorber's summer book sale, as posted on yesterday. It was referred to in the Kilburn Times headline as a "summer reading campaign". Brent has an annual non profit reading campaign, the Summer Reading Challenge. This is promoted by many local authorities in partnership with the Reading Agency, a well known UK charity that promotes reading.
Last year's Summer Reading Challenge was hugely successful. The 2012 Challenge saw 4,335 children join; more than in 2011. I hope that this year! Which has a creepy house theme, is as successful. Brent is also a leader in an adult version, the Six Book Challenge, where last year we had more participants than any other library service.
