Here we are in July and the start of the school summer holidays can only mean one thing - the start of the library Summer Reading Challenge 2013.
This year young readers are invited to join a gang of explorers as they discover the secrets of the Creepy House - collecting stickers as they read books from the library and adding them to their own special Creepy House fold-out poster.
There are three floors of the house to explore and for every two books read there are stickers to complete one of the three stages:
Stage 1: The Awful Upstairs,
Stage 2: The Gruesome Ground Floor
Stage 3: The Spine-tingling Cellar.
Read six books over the summer to collect all the stickers and complete all three levels - you'll also get a certificate at the closing event in Kirkwall Library on Saturday 17th August.
The stickers have special codes which will unlock extra features on the Creepy House website www.creepy-house.org.uk . On the website you can share your favourite books, send messages, meet some famous authors, and even enter a competition to complete a short story started by a famous author and win fabulous prizes.
Are you brave enough to enter the Creepy House? Beware - those stinky stickers really are smelly!*
* No really, they are. We have to store them in a special sealed box and wear hazmat suits to handle them**
** Okay we may be exaggerating a bit - but they are really pongy
