Summer Reading Challenge

The Summer Reading Challenge is an initiative organised by The Reading Agency to encourage children to read during the summer holidays.   

The challenge entails children to borrow and read six or more books or audio books from any of our libraries (Cleethorpes, Grimsby, Waltham or Immingham) during the summer. Each time a child returns a book, they will receive a sticker or prize. To celebrate completing the challenge, every child will receive a medal, certificate and an invitation to the celebration party at the Grimsby Auditorium on Sunday, 29th September. 
 

  • Register from 13th July at any of our libraries
  • Start the challenge on Saturday, 20th July
  • Read six books or more by the end date of Saturday, 14th September

During the summer holidays we will host a number of free activities and events to support the Challenge

Talk about the books you are reading for the challenge and get recommendations from the staff and other fun activities.
