Summer Reading Challenge

 

What is the Summer Reading Challenge?

The Summer Reading Challenge, delivered in partnership with public libraries across the UK, is back for 2025! The Challenge invites children to embark on an exciting reading journey, either through their local library or online. This year’s theme, Story Garden, encourages young readers to explore nature and the great outdoors through reading.

In the Library

Visit your local library and sign up. Your child will set a reading goal, choose anything they like to read, and collect special stickers and rewards for their reading. Libraries offer lots of free activities and events throughout the summer.

Islington Libraries Family Fun Day on Saturday 5th July

Online 

Sign up on the official Challenge website to take part online. Children can set a reading goal and get tips for accessing books for free at home. As they read books, they’ll unlock digital rewards, including a printable certificate.  

Children set a reading goal and collect rewards for reading anything they enjoy. Children can sign up at their local library or online, and it’s FREE to take part.

JOIN IN FROM 5th JULY TO KEEP CHILDREN READING OVER THE HOLIDAYS!
