2008 Summer Reading Challenge

Kids get active and get reading this summer

Solihull Libraries are on their marks and getting set to keep young people active and keep them reading throughout the summer holidays….with the Summer Reading Challenge.

Every year there’s a different theme. This year’s Summer Reading Challenge is called Team Read, with a whole range of activities and incentives to you on to the finishing line.

The Summer Reading Challenge is simple – read six books during the summer, through your local library. Children are given a special pack and will be given a certificate and medal if they successfully complete the Challenge.

You can also visit the interactive Team Read website http://www.teamread.co.uk/ which will link you with top authors and illustrators and give you space to talk about your favourite books and share reading ideas.

So why not visit your local library and join the challenge

The Reading Challenge starts on July 12th More information here: Summer Reading Challenge
