Blue Peter Book Club Readers Required

Call out for staff to help with Blue Peter Book Club

The Blue Peter Book Club is all about the sharing the joy of reading, aiming to find titles which children won’t want to put down and introduce young readers to new writing that they may not have previously discovered.
Publishers are submitting titles and help is needed to read and review submissions. You can have your say in supporting to choose the books that are selected for the Book Club.

This opportunity is open to librarians, booksellers and teachers.

If selected to participate, you will be asked to read a minimum of 5 books between 25 April and 2 June. Books will include fiction, non-fiction, poetry and graphic novels, and will generally be suitable for children aged 8-9, with consideration for books suitable for aged 5-11. Titles will include both recently published books, and some older titles.

You will be provided with guidance for your reading and for each title you read, you will be asked to complete a feedback form. Please only apply if you will be able to read and provide feedback within the given time.

Books will be provided as PDFs, with alternative formats available if required for accessibility purposes.

Contact [email protected] with any questions.

Apply here by 14 April 2025.
