Snuggle Up & Share a Book!!!

The States Early Years Team are running a competition in collaboration with Guernsey Press to celebrate the joy of sharing books with young children. As part of the Go All In National Year of Reading Campaign we hope to highlight the important part that book sharing plays in early development. Most importantly we want to celebrate those special moments that occur when we Snuggle Up & Share a Book.
We would love to see photographs of your little one snuggled up with parents, carers, grandparents, siblings, friends or even pets. To enter the competition send your photographs to [email protected] along with your child's name and age.
By entering the competition, parents and carers are agreeing to consent for their child’s image and name to be used on the States of Guernsey Early Years Team and Guernsey Press social media pages and website, and for their image and name to be published in the Guernsey Press in connection with the Snuggle Up & Share A Book competition. States of Guernsey Early Years Team and Guernsey Press will take all steps to ensure these images are used solely for the purposes
for which they are intended. If you become aware that these images are being used inappropriately, please inform us immediately by emailing [email protected]
Entry to the competition closes on Monday 6 July, with winners, selected by the States Early Years Team and the Guernsey Press, from age groups birth to 2 years old and 3-5 years old, with prizes of a book bundle awarded to each winner.

🌟 It's Volunteers' Week! And we'd like to say a huge thank you to the wonderful volunteers who run our four community libraries around the island.
Their dedication and enthusiasm make the libraries what they are - warm and welcoming places for everyone.
As a small token of our appreciation, this week we were delighted to present them each with a (Fab Lab-printed!) mug.
Thank you for everything you do! 🙏
