Summer Reading Challenge

Step into the Story Garden this summer, where imagination grows and stories come to life!

Summer Reading Challenge

The Summer Reading Challenge is a free, fun way for children to enjoy books and keep reading during the school holidays. It’s designed to support reading confidence, spark creativity, and encourage a lifelong love of stories.

This year’s theme, Story Garden, invites children to explore magical creatures, wild adventures, and the wonders of nature through books they choose themselves.
