The Reading Crusade takes place every second year and is brought to you by Christchurch City Libraries in conjunction with the CRFU (Canterbury Rugby Football Union).
The last Reading Crusade opened on 11 April 2011 and closed on 23 May 2011. Congratulations to all children who read their six (or more) books and entered the competition. Thank you for your support!
The next Reading Crusade is scheduled for 2013 - we’ll post information about it here on our website, so keep checking in.
How the Reading Crusade works
Children:
- Download their reading log, or get a paper copy from their teacher or local library.
- Read their choice of six books — fiction or non-fiction titles — and complete their reading log.
- Follow the Crusade and get reading ideas on the Christchurch kids blog.
The reading log is verified by a teacher, parent or librarian online. This puts the child in the draw for prizes and an invitation to the prize giving.
