Libraries

Focus on... Space Hop

Are you aged 4-11?
Are you ready to explore space, find strange worlds and discover new galaxies?

This summer, you can be part of a special mission that will take you out of this world! To sign up, stop off at your local library to join the crew of the Ex-Libris and prepare to blast off!

Space Hop is the 2010 Summer Reading Challenge. Read six books over the holidays, and along the way win stickers, glow-in-the-dark wristbands and other prizes, with a certificate and medal for completing the challenge.

To help explore the galaxy, Libraries are having many exciting activites, including:

• Space Hop Live! with TV professor Mark Brake and rapper Jon Chase (from CBeebies Space Hoppers programme)
• Science, cartooning and pop-up making workshops with author Robert Crowther and cartoonist Andy Gilbert
• Cosmic craft sessions
• Alien storytimes
• Mobile planetarium
• Alien invasion sessions with award-winning author Guy Bass
• Space poetry with author and performance poet David Harmer.
