Livingston FC, West Lothian Youth Foundation, the SPFL Trust and Scottish Book Trust have teamed up to launch a pioneering pilot project, which aims to encourage kids to read.
The Lions are working in partnership with 14 SPFL clubs and local libraries, to deliver the 4-4-2 Reading Challenge which aims to inspire children aged 5-12 to read four books in exchange for match tickets.
The initiative centres on a reading “challenge card” which participating clubs and libraries will issue. For every book read, children will receive a stamp on their card.
When they have read four books, participants will receive a FREE match ticket for a home league match at The Tony Macaroni Arena, while an accompanying adult will be able to purchase a discounted ticket.
We are delighted to be part of this initiative, and our children are lucky they have a library on their doorstop. Our cards will be arriving this week and children can visit our Community Library at the times below to borrow a book and collect their card.
- Monday: 2:00-5:00pm
- Wednesday: 2:30 – 4:30pm
- Thursday 2:00-6:00pm
