Prepare for lift off as we travel across the galaxy on a very special reading mission. The Summer Reading Challenge 2019 is nearly upon us and this year’s theme is Space Chase.

Inspired by the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing, the Challenge which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, encourages children to discover new authors and read books!

Starting on Saturday 22nd June 2019, The Summer Reading Challenge encourages children aged 4 to 11 to read six library books during the long summer holiday. Sign up in your local library.

What is the Summer Reading Challenge?

The Summer Reading Challenge takes place every year during the summer holidays. You can sign up at your local library, then read six library books of your choice to complete the Challenge. There are exclusive rewards to collect along the way, and it’s FREE to take part!

The Summer Reading Challenge website helps you keep track of your reading all year round: find new books to read, take part in competitions and and play games.
