Why not visit the library this summer? This year’s Summer Reading Challenge theme is ‘Story Garden’, tap into a world of imagination through reading, exploring the magical connection between storytelling and nature. It’s super easy to join in the fun!
The challenge launches on Saturday 5th July and runs until Sunday 14th September.
Just sign up at your local library and read 6 books or listen to 6 audiobooks of your choice. You can borrow books from the library or download them from BorrowBox. Every time you read a book, you’ll get a sticker. Fill up your booklet with stickers to complete the challenge!
When you finish the challenge, you’ll be awarded a certificate and a cool medal.
