Summer Reading Challenge

Read six books this summer for a chance to win prizes
The annual Summer Reading Challenge is back in libraries across Islington. This year’s theme, ‘Gadgeteers’, is designed to spark children’s curiosity about the world around them. With resources and activities from the Science Museum, the challenge focuses on inspiring children to see the science and innovation behind everyday objects, showing that reading and science are for everyone.
The aim is to read six books over the summer, for a chance to win prizes. All completers will receive a certificate and medal. If you have a child under five, you can sign them up to the mini reading challenge for pre-school children.
Pop into your local library and sign up from Saturday 9 July – it’s free!
