Date Time Success of Summer Reading Challenge Wagga Wagga City Library’s Summer Reading Challenge saw children swapping screens for books over the holidays, to the delight of many parents and carers. As part of the reading challenge, school-aged children were encouraged to read 10 hours across the month of January, based on the gold standard of 20 minutes a day. Children who achieved the 10 hours could then enter a draw to win one of 5 double movie passes. The challenge saw over 100 participants reading regularly across the holidays, visiting the library to pick up their registration kits, completing the extra activities for virtual badges and mini-prizes, and writing book reviews for their peers.
