Arts Award and Summer Reading Challenge 2014

20 January 2014

A New Direction is offering support to libraries that wish to run Arts Award as part of Summer Reading Challenge 2014, expanding on last year’s successful pilot, which delivered nearly 400 Arts Awards in partnership with 13 London library services.

This year, we want to enable the services we’ve already partnered with to build upon last year’s activity, whilst also inviting new boroughs to explore ways to embed Arts Award in their Summer Reading Challenge activity. We are working with the Reading Agency to produce a new activity booklet for 2014 that libraries can use to deliver Arts Award Discover.

To do this, A New Direction has developed a flexible menu of options (for which library services can access a contribution of up to the value of £500 per borough) to support the embedding of Arts Award within the Summer Reading Challenge.
