2025 Summer Reading Challenge Story Garden
Why take part in the Summer Reading Challenge?
The 2025 Summer Reading Challenge will start on Saturday 21st June and run until Saturday 9th August.
Reading is far from boring, it opens a world of discovery, adventure and freedom.
Rainy day during the school holidays? Not to worry, you can have a day fighting dragons from your armchair or zoom through the galaxy in an indoor tent.
Or when we do get some sunshine, head out to your local park take a book, play games and explore...cue lots of laughs and hours go by!
The Summer Reading Challenge is our way of helping parents and carers make reading interesting and fun. A dip in reading skills during the summer holidays can be avoided whilst creating lots of lovely memories.
How does it work? All you need to do is visit your local library and tell the staff there you'd like to sign your child up for the challenge. You'll receive an activity pack and you can collect stickers and stamps along the way, 6 books complete the challenge! Finishers get a certificate to frame and keep forever, as well as a medal to proudly show off.
