Even while libraries were partially closed in 2020 it continued to be a popular programme and Summer 2021 saw a huge amount of young people in Kildare using their libraries again and joining the challenge. Summer Stars was easy to join and participate at the library; children simply needed to have a library account and head to their local library to pick up a reading card with 8 spots for titles they have read over the summer. Dozens of children from Kildare Libraries&#8217; branches not only signed up to the programme, but finished it as well, reading 8 or more books and being awarded the various prizes for each target within the programme, including an exclusive Summer Stars pencil, bookmark, notebook and bag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/kildarelibraries.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/242593259_4642542542424889_6615609338030780071_n.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3922\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now is the time for all participants to collect their participation award of a special Summer Stars 2021 certificate. Some children have already collected theirs but if you haven&#8217;t, these will be available for collection (from the branch you joined Summer Stars in) until the end of September. If you missed any of the prizes or haven&#8217;t been back at the library since you picked up your reading card, visit your local library with your reading card to see if there are any prizes waiting for you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The library is now open with more booking slots and an allotted time of an hour, so there&#8217;s plenty of time to continue your reading adventure through the Autumn and Winter months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer Stars is a summer reading programme that includes participants from ages 5-12 all across Ireland.
