The Grey Coat Hospital Reading Olympics!

To celebrate World Book Day and the 2012 Olympics, The Grey Coat Library has launched a competition for staff and students to take part in. There are 6 events:

Sprint – a quick read = 1 point

Marathon – a longer, more difficult read = 4 points

Hurdles – try a new genre or a novel from the adult section = 3 points

Javelin – hit the spot with a book recommendation that your friend adds to their reading list and really enjoys = 1 points

In the Commentary Box – write an imaginative review for the display = 2 points

Synchronised Swimming – work with friends on an entry for the Read This competition, or another group activity (e.g. Making a poster promoting reading, or a podcast for the library VLE)= 3 points

 Everyone gets a badge to show which events they are/have been competing in, and a challenge booklet to record their points. The competitors with the most points at the end of the year will recieve prizes!
