The Read To The Beat Summer Reading Challenge starts on Saturday 11 July and finishes on Saturday 5 September.

Children can register for the Summer Reading Challenge any time between these dates in all libraries during staffed hours, as well as on the mobile library.

It’s completely free to take part, and children will receive everything they need to earn rewards for reading library books.

The more books children read, the more rewards they can collect! Can your young readers read the following?:

6 books = certificate

12 books = bookmark

18 books = medal

Children or their parent/guardian will need their own library card to register for the Summer Reading Challenge. It's free to become a member of the library and you can join during staffed hours at any library, on the mobile library, or join online and collect your library card from your local library.

There will be free crafts for children in libraries during staffed hours, as well as regular activities like Lego Club, Sunday Funday, and Saturday Story. Check your local library for what’s on and follow us on Facebook.

Good luck with the challenge!
