Bolton Library is inviting children across the area to ditch the gadgets and pick up the books this year for the National Year of Reading.
The team is currently running the Winter Mini Challenge, where reading and reviewing three books between now and February 20 gives youngsters a chance to win a bundle of exciting children's books, as well as a certificate and online badge.
Books can be borrowed from Bolton Library and reviewed on the Winter Mini Challenge children's website.
Here, children can find book recommendations, watch videos from authors, play games, and discover a huge range of activities to entertain the whole family.
The National Year of Reading is the brainchild of the National Literacy Trust, an independent charity that empowers children, young people, and adults with literacy skills.
'Go all in' is the campaign motto, advising children to get stuck in to reading about whatever it is they're interested in.
This angle is motivated by the perception that the decrease in levels of children reading for pleasure is largely due to a lack of motivation rather than a dislike of reading itself.
