The Summer Reading Challenge is for primary age children. It is to encourage children to keep reading over the summer holidays.
We ask them to read 6 books over the holidays. While doing this they collect stickers, enter prize draws and at the compeletion of reading their six books we have a party to celebrate where they are awarded a certificate. Pop into the library to sign up! It's FREE.

We also have a challenge for Teens. They just sign up, and each time they read a book they enter a free prize draw to win an Amazon voucher.
We also have a little challenge for the under 5's. They collect three stickers on each visit and receive a lovely certificate from the Reading Challenge.
