Children across the county are invited to turn up the volume on reading this summer as the popular Summer Reading Challenge returns to libraries from Saturday 4 July.
This year’s theme, ‘Read to the Beat’, celebrates the joy of music and storytelling, encouraging children to explore how books and music can inspire creativity, imagination and self-expression. From toe-tapping tales to stories full of rhythm and rhyme, the Challenge invites children to discover a world where words and music come together to spark imagination and bring stories to life.
The Summer Reading Challenge is a fun, free way for children to enjoy reading over the school holidays. Whether it’s a library book, eBook or eAudiobook, there’s something for every interest and reading level – with this year’s collection featuring a wide mix of fiction, non-fiction, poetry and graphic novels.
Children aged 4 to 12 can sign up at their local library or online from “Sign-Up Saturday” on 4 July and collect a special starter pack to begin their reading journey.
