Pick up the tempo and Read to the Beat at a library near you
Saturday 4th July
West Sussex Library Service's popular Summer Reading Challenge is back! This year’s theme is Read to the Beat, a celebration of reading and music.
Pre-registration is open from Monday 15 June and the Summer Reading Challenge starts in your local West Sussex library on Saturday 4 July, running until Saturday 12 September.
It’s free for families to take part and a great way to encourage reading for pleasure during the long summer holiday. Once registered online for the Challenge at libraries.westsussex.gov.uk/src, children reveal a special code word to staff at their local library to get a Read to the Beat sticker booklet.
The main Challenge is aimed at children aged 4-11 years, whilst under-4s can take part in the Mini Challenge. Children will have access to a wide range of books – both physical and downloadable!
They will have all summer to enjoy books and achieve personalised reading goals, returning to the library several times to discuss the books they have been reading with Summer Reading Challenge Volunteers, collecting stickers and other exciting rewards along the way.
Sing from the rooftops – it’s nearly Summer Reading Challenge time!
