Summer Reading Challenge with Manchester Libraries

You’re invited to join this year’s free Summer Reading Challenge with Manchester Libraries.  As well as reading library books as part of the Challenge, why not join in with one of our brilliant Story Garden themed activities aimed at ages 4-11?
We’ve organised lots of fun-packed activities and events for you to enjoy over the school holidays.  This year’s theme for the Summer Reading Challenge is Story Garden, so of course we’re exploring nature and the great outdoors whenever we can!
To join the Summer Reading Challenge, visit your local library and ask for your free sticker booklet. Once you’ve read six books, you’ll have completed the Challenge and you’ll have earnt your medal and certificate.
