The Summer Reading Challenge 2011 has now ended

We will post information for the 2012 Summer Reading Challenge activities and events in due course.

Roll Up! Roll Up and Be a Circus Star this Summer 2011!

The 'world famous' Summer Reading Challenge opens on July 16 2011 at a library near you!

The challenge, aimed at 4-12 year olds, is to read 6 or more books over the summer.

There are:

• special rewards to collect
• online games and quizzes
• scratch n sniff stickers (one smells of rabbit poo)
• special events in libraries
• and for those who complete the challenge a certificate and a gold medal!

All libraries will be taking part. It's all FREE so there is no excuse not to join in the fun!

What do I need to do?

1. Go to your local library
2. If you're not a library member, why not join - you can even do it online!
3. Register for Circus Stars
4. Borrow and read 6 books over the Summer and collect rewards from your library

It's that easy!
