This year’s summer reading challenge is here!
For those new to the challenge, it is hosted annually by The Reading Agency, who set the theme and provide incentives to encourage children to read during the summer holidays. We have stickers to collect and medals to be won!
How It Works
Any library member aged 4 – 11 can join in, you can join the library for free at any time.
- Sign up for the challenge at any time from July 1st, your child will get a starter pack including stickers, a reading goal is set and your child can take part in our treasure hunt at the library.
- Any book counts towards their reading goal, including comics, ebooks and audiobooks.
- Upon returning books, your child will be given more stickers and a bookmark.
- When the reading goal is met (6 books or more!) your child will receive a certificate and medal!
- Your child has until September 2nd to complete their challenge.
Sign Up Event
We will be holding a sign-up event on Saturday, July 1st 10am -1pm, outside the library, our Summer Reading Challenge heroes will be there to answer any questions. If you can’t make it, any librarian can sign your child up at any time over the summer and provide them with a starter pack during our usual opening hours.
This year’s theme is play, sport and games, so your child can read about their favourite sports, athletes, and games. The Reading Agency has teamed up with the Youth Sports Trust to inspire children to read and get active. Book recommendations can be found online here, or you can come along to the library and browse our shelves.
