The Mayor came along with Cllr Valerie Bossman-Quarshie (Reading Champion) and Cllr Una O'Halloran (Lead member for Libraries) to launch an exciting new digital reading game for children in Years 5 & 6. It has been developed by The Reading Agency in partnership with Get Islington Reading for children in Years 5 & 6.
Karen Napier, CEO of The Reading Agency introduced The Reading Adventure Game and Tony Brown from Islington Libraries walked the children through how the game works.

to enjoy. To promote reading for pleasure is our goal.
The Mayor
We
welcomed The Worshipful the Mayor of Islington to St Joseph’s today.
He
came to launch the
SUMMER READING CHALLENGE
The
children gave him a standing ovation as he walked through the school on his way
to our library.
The Mayor was very impressed with our library, which is at the heart of the school and provides an inspiring and calm place for our children to read. He particularly liked our cosy book nook under-the-stairs with cushions galore. Perfect to escape into a book!
The children gave his Worship a guided tour or our library
and found out that his favourite book is ‘Oliver Twist’.
The Mayor spoke to the children about the importance of
reading and especially to keep reading over the Summer.
