The Bookstart Book Crawl

A great library-joining incentive for children in Wales

The Book Crawl is very well received by children, parents and caregivers and is a fun way to promote book sharing and enhance children’s learning opportunities.

The Bookstart Book Crawl is a library-joining incentive that has the potential to generate thousands of library visits. Children visiting their library collect special stickers, and after four visits they are awarded a certificate. These are delightful mementos of their earliest years as library members.

The Bookstart Book Crawl will run in libraries in Wales until at least March 2012.
