Let voices sing with this year’s Summer Reading Challenge!
From 4 July, join the annual Summer Reading Challenge, run by The Reading Agency and supported by your local library. This year, the theme inspires children to explore the connection between stories and songs, discovering how reading and music both ignite imagination and creativity.
The theme is 'Read to the Beat'—but what you read is entirely up to you!
Children aged 4–11 who sign up will receive a special collector’s card after finishing their first book, plus a sticker for every book they read. Those who read six library books and complete the challenge will be awarded a free bookmark and a 'Read to the Beat' certificate to celebrate their achievement!
Not yet a library member? No problem! You can join online for free and get a temporary membership number to start your reading journey right away.
