Merton Book Reading Project

During the summer holidays, you can participate in the Merton Libraries book reading project.  The aim is for you to read six books from your local library during the summer holidays.  If you complete the challenge, you will be given a medal, certificate and a book token. 

If you would like to take part, please contact Merton's Corporate Parenting Officer awayahead@merton.gov.uk .

Merton Library Service

Your local libraries are a great source of information and support for your education.  There are lots of special events which take place at the libraries and lots of really cool books, cd's and DVD's you can rent.  The library can also provide you with a quiet space to do some study if you need to.  Find out more at www.merton.gov.uk/libraries.htm

Resources

You can borrow CD-roms from the CHANCES TEAM to support learning across the curriculum, including English Maths and Science.  Contact rosa.ashton@merton.gov.uk or call direct on 020 8288 5654.
