4-4-2 Reading Challenge

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
