Essex Libraries: Summer Reading Challenge
Join the Essex Libraries for this year's Summer Reading Challenge.
This year’s Summer Reading Challenge, delivered by libraries and produced by The Reading Agency, will inspire children to tap into the world of
imagination and reading, exploring the magical connection between storytelling and nature.
Join the wonderful characters, created by the brilliant children’s illustrator Dapo Adeola, who brings the Story Garden theme to life to create an enchanted world where children can find magical creatures, plants and flowers to inspire their next reading adventure.
Children are encouraged to read any library book of their choice, fiction, non-fiction, picture books or books they share with parents and carers – they all count. They can earn stickers by telling Essex Libraries about the books they’ve read or writing a review.
They can also create a piece of art based on the book or attend a library event. After collecting six stickers they earn their certificate and medal.
