Calling all four to eleven-year-olds: Manchester Libraries have organised many fun-packed activities and events for you to enjoy over the school holidays.

Join the free Summer Reading Challenge ‘Ready, Set, Read!’, running throughout the school summer holidays. This year’s theme is Sports and Games so be ready to take part in reading, fun and play.

Visit your local library to collect your joining pack. Once you’ve read six books, you’ll have completed the Challenge and receive your certificate and medal. Why stop there though?

There are also lots of other free ‘Ready, Set, Read!’ activities happening at local libraries across Manchester too. Give your local library a call or ask next time you’re in for more details.
