Are you or do you know someone aged 4-12 who loves to read?
Join the Summer Reading Challenge – read 6 books (or more!) across the summer and have fun along the way. You’ll get a starter pack when you join, can collect stickers at Storyhouse (or any local library) and then get a medal at the end! You can choose any books you like to count towards your Summer Reading Challenge. Fact, fiction, poetry, graphic novels, joke books – the choice is yours! eBooks and audiobooks count too, so you can read wherever and however you like.
The Summer Reading Challenge 2021 has begun – and we’ve teamed up with WWF for a very special nature-themed challenge to inspire you to stand up for the planet. This summer’s theme is Wild World Heroes.
There’s also a variety of in-person and online events to take part in too! Find out more about those here.
You can take part in the Challenge by signing up at your local library.
It’s completely free to sign up! Your library will give you your pack, including a special Collector Poster map of Wilderville and help you find books to read.
Or you can join up online here and visit Storyhouse to find books to read!
You can take part in the Challenge by signing up at your local library.
For the first time, there will also be a Mini Challenge for those who are pre-school or younger – they will be given a sticker at each visit and a special gold sticker when six books have been read. Ask a library team member at Storyhouse!
PS. Did you know? Libraries are now fine-free for under 13s. Children aged 0 to 12 years will no longer be charged for any overdue items and any pre-existing late charges have been removed from their accounts.
