The idea behind the summer reading challenge is simple and fun. Children are encouraged to read six library books of their choice during the summer holidays with collectable incentives and rewards, plus a certificate and medal for every child who completes the Challenge. You can sign up at the start of the summer holidays and it’s absolutely free.
