- Of course, it's sad, because I had expected them to be open and that I would be able to work out July. But that was not the case. But I'll read books instead. It will be great fun, says Tea Vigren.

Hope to get the job done

Daniel Helge, Tea Vigren and several of their peers who would have summer jobs in the park are now hoping instead to get the municipality's newly established book reading job.

- Three books we will read, for children of different ages. One for those who are a little smaller, one for the slightly larger and then one for those who are even bigger, says Daniel Helge.

Read and review

Vimmerby Municipality is looking for 45 young people to work as a book reader for three weeks this summer. The task consists of reading three books for different target groups and then writing a review. The application deadline expires July 3.

- It is always good to read books, it would have made it easier to have something to do during the summer anyway, says Hilda Hultqvist, who would have worked on Astrid Lindgren's world this summer.
