Library Events
Solihull libraries are a hive of activity throughout the year. There are regular events such as Storytimes and Rhyme Time sessions for younger children as well as poetry and author events for adults.
Why not visit one of the Storytelling Café events held at Solihull Arts Complex, also designed to bring storytelling back to an adult audience. Whatever you do, you are bound to have a great time with Solihull libraries!
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
