Summer Reading Challenge
The Summer Reading Challenge is a free reading program for children aged 4-11 years old. It encourages children to read for pleasure over the summer holidays. By setting them a challenge of reading six or more library books.
How it works
To take part in the Summer Reading Challenge, children simply need to sign up at their local library. They will then be given a special collector folder to record their progress. Each time they finish a book, they can take their folder back to the library and receive a sticker or badge.
Rewards
Children who complete the Summer Reading Challenge will receive a certificate and medal. They will also be invited to a celebration event held at Magna Science and Adventure Centre in the Autumn.
