Get ready for a reading adventure! This year’s Summer Reading Challenge starts on Saturday 6 July. The Summer Reading Challenge encourages children to keep reading during the school summer holidays - and to choose anything they enjoy to read! It's free to take part and they can join at Artizan Street, Barbican or Shoe Lane Libraries. This year’s theme is Marvellous Makers, which is all about being creative; junk modelling story writing, film making…the possibilities are endless!

As an extra incentive if you finish the Challenge you get invited to our ceremony at the Guildhall!

Pop into any of our libraries to get started or find out more.
