We have lift off! Libraries across Norfolk are getting ready to launch children into orbit for a space hop adventure this school summer holiday.

And it’s all free fun, which is out-of-this-world news for parents! The Summer Reading Challenge Space Hop is just one of many exciting schemes Norfolk libraries are developing to help children enjoy books.

Children can sign up at any Norfolk Library from the start of the school holidays and pick up a free Space Hop pack containing membership card, fold-out poster and stickers.  The mission is to help the crew of the Ex Libris set up the first library on the moon whilst outwitting the dastardly Spacekatz who are trying to lead them into a black hole…..

As well as helping with the space mission and borrowing some great books, Space Hoppers can visit an interactive website www.spacehop.org.uk to share ideas with authors, illustrators and other readers.

Visit your local library and start the intergalactic adventure.

If you’re not already a library member it’s free and simple to join.  For details of your nearest library visit www.library.norfolk.gov.uk
