📚⚽ TAKE ON THE 4-4-2 READING CHALLENGE! ⚽
The SPFL Trust, Livingston FC and West Lothian Community Foundation have joined forces to bring the 4-4-2 Reading Challenge to children and families across West Lothian!

The challenge encourages children aged 5–12 to discover the enjoyment of reading—with the chance to watch Livingston FC play at home as their reward. 🦁

Taking part is simple:

📖 Visit a participating West Lothian library
📖 Ask for a 4-4-2 Reading Challenge card
📖 Choose, borrow and read four books
📖 Collect a library stamp for each completed book
📖 Present the completed card to Livingston FC
🎟️ Claim a free child’s ticket for a qualifying home match
🎟️ Claim a FREE ticket for an accompanying adult

Children can choose books based on their own interests and reading ability—and they do not need to be football books!

By connecting the excitement of football with books and libraries, we hope to encourage more children to read for enjoyment, grow in confidence and experience the thrill of cheering on Livingston FC.

Visit your local participating library and ask for a 4-4-2 Reading Challenge card to get started.

Ticket rewards are subject to availability and the programme’s applicable terms and conditions.
