Reading Crusade 2009
In February 2009 Christchurch City Libraries and the Crusaders are once again joining forces to recreate that exciting reading promotion, the Reading Crusade. Crusaders, librarians and teachers will be working in partnership to encourage reading throughout the first term of the 2009 year.
Any primary or intermediate child living in the Crusader Franchise catchment which includes Canterbury, the West Coast, Nelson and Marlborough is eligible to enter and be in to win a number of great prizes – the grand prize sees a ‘team’ of 15 children winning the chance to become a Crusader for a Day, where they will join the Crusaders squad at one of their training sessions.
Children will be asked to read their choice of six fiction or non-fiction titles and complete an entry form with details of their reading. All those entered in the Crusade will receive a participation certificate printed with the signatures of all the Crusaders team.
