Warwickshire Libraries invite you to take part in the Summer Reading Challenge - the UK’s biggest reading for pleasure programme for children aged 4 to 11. The Challenge runs in Warwickshire Libraries from Saturday 6 July and runs through the summer holidays until Sat 7th September. This year, the theme is Marvellous Makers! Developed by the Reading Agency in partnership with Create, a leading charity bringing the creative arts to those who need it most, this year’s Challenge aims to fire up children’s imaginations and unleash storytelling and creativity through the power of reading.
In your local libraries, we will be running a busy programme of summer activities around this theme. Please click the relevant link(s) from the list below to download the flyer or flyers which are most relevant to you - come and visit the library over the summer holidays and have fun with us!
