Summer reading fundraising challenge

Monday 25th July to Friday 16th September

Running alongside our Summer Reading members' challenge this year, we’re asking our supporters to consider being sponsored to do the challenge.

The concept is the same, read 5 books in an 8-week period, with the 5th being something outside of your usual area of interest. Perhaps a choice from your least favourite genre? If that’s ghost stories? Try one! Never liked Biographies? Delve into our Biography categories and find one to try. Or for any young supporters who love Tom Fletcher, why not try a Jeff Kinney ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ book instead?

The important thing is to find a book that you would never normally read and give it a go. And then get family and friends, neighbours or even the local postman to sponsor you whilst doing it!

Setting up and sharing a JustGiving page is a really easy way to ask for sponsorship with the money coming directly to us. £10 pays for one of our audiobooks on a memory stick – could you help us fund 5 this summer? Any monies you raise, large or small, will help us to continue to add great books to keep our members reading all year round.

You don't need to officially enter our challenge to be sponsored; any donations that arrive with us through JustGiving will be seen and greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support.
