Libraries across the UK are getting ready to encourage young readers to explore some of the astonishing real-life achievements and world records as featured in the Guinness World Records Books as part of the Summer Reading Challenge 2015.
As part of this year’s Challenge, children, parents, carers, young volunteers, teachers, much-loved children’s authors and important figures in communities around the UK will be asked to make a pledge to help libraries set a new Guinness World Records™ title for the Most Pledges Received for a Reading Campaign!
East Riding libraries are collecting pledges at various branches between Friday 10 and Monday 13 July. It takes only two minutes to visit one of the event stands, sign the pledge form and become a Record Breaker!
Councillor Richard Burton, portfolio holder for civic wellbeing and culture, said : “We are really excited to be taking part in this official attempt to set a Guinness World Records™ title. It is a great way to launch the Summer Reading Challenge and provides a wonderful opportunity for East Riding Libraries to encourage children to go for a personal best this summer!”
Public Libraries across the UK will be taking part throughout the weekend in an attempt to gather over 100, 000 pledges and set a new World Record. If successful in setting the record, East Riding libraries will receive one official Guinness World Records™ certificate which will then go ‘on tour’ around the East Riding.
