Get ‘Ready, Set, Read!’ It’s the Summer Reading Challenge!
We are delighted to announce that the annual Summer Reading Challenge is returning to Hampshire Libraries this month. The challenge, which supports children’s literacy during the summer holiday, runs from Saturday 15 July until Saturday 16 September 2023.
This year's sports theme ‘Ready, Set, Read!’ celebrates the excitement of sports and games, and aims to promote healthy habits as well as a love of reading. The challenge encourages children aged 4 to 11 to read six books over the summer holidays and take part in fun activities that promote physical and mental wellbeing.
Families and carers can sign-up children online, or by visiting their closest Hampshire Library - it’s free to join the library and take part in the challenge.
Once they have signed up for the challenge and started reading, children can collect stickers to add to their special Summer Reading Challenge collector card. All children who sign up to take part will be entered into a prize draw to win a Samsung Galaxy tablet and those who complete the challenge will also receive a certificate and a sustainable medal made of carved wood.
