Bookstart Book Crawl

Book-Crawl2
Book Crawl materials are supplied free to all Bookstart schemes.


The Bookstart Book Crawl is a library-joining incentive for children age 0-4 years.

It encourages parents to bring their children to their local library where they can collect stickers on each visit. They can then exchange either four or five stickers for a certificate.

The scheme has the potential to generate over one million visits to libraries each year and helps to establish a library habit we hope children will maintain throughout their lives.
 
April 08: All schemes have been sent new Book Crawl certificates supporting the National Year of Reading.

New Book Crawl certificates in celebration of NYR

Booktrust has commissioned ten new Bookstart Book Crawl certificates by new illustrators as part of our celebration of the National Year of Reading.
 
We have produced promotional posters (A4 size) and 200,000 certificates which could generate around 800,000 visits to libraries.

We hope this will help to increase membership and active use and support the NYR library joining campaign.
 
You are being sent a one-off amount of the ten new National Year of Reading certificates in April 2008.

There is a limited stock of the new certificates and are not orderable. Once your stock has been used up please go back to using the previous certificates.

These posters promote the new NYR Book Crawl certificates and should be used up to March 2009.

There are English, Scottish and Welsh versions available to order:
