Stubby, where are you? | Let´s generate reading power!

What are we going to do and who can participate? It´s really simple

The Yule Lad Stubby, who is the third in line of the thirteen Icelandic Yule Lads, is coming to town early this year. He will start his journey on November 3rd. He needs no ordinary energy to make it to his destination, he needs reading power! You might wonder what reading power is. It is the power that we generate while reading books. Together we are going help Stubby by reading a lot of books for a whole month.

Everyone can participate, young and old. We are going to read or listen to all kinds of books, everyone in their own speed. When you return the books to the library you write the title of the book you read to the easel by the counter. The librarians will then count the books and update the numbers on the reading tracker. We think that together we can read a THOUSAND books! The more we read and the more participants we get, Stubby will have more fuel on his journey and will arrive on time!

You can follow his journey in Sólheimsafn and see how many books we have read so far.

What happens next? On Saturday the 29th of November at 12:00 there will be a Christmas storytime in Sólheimasafn and after we will have Christmas drinks and cake. We will also get to know if Stubby made it on time.

Why are we doing this? By doing this we practise our reading skills, but we also learn a lot while reading, hear new stories and a lot of new words, get to know new people and a new world unravels, bit by bit.
