Summer Reading Challenge
Calling all Wild World Heroes!
The Summer Reading Challenge is back and children ages 4-11 years old are being challenged to read six books over the summer and join in the fun. This year's theme is Wild World Heroes and is in partnership with WWF. You can find out all about environmental issues and what you can do to make a positive contribution to our planet.
All you have to do is register for free at any Solihull Library to get your collector pack and then collect stickers when you visit the library over the summer. You can choose any book you like for the challenge, the choice is up to you. You could even borrow books from our ebook and eaudiobook service.
If you complete the challenge you will earn yourself a certificate and a medal and you can enter our prize draw for tickets to the Core Theatre this autumn and Christmas. But hurry! Stocks are limited this year and when they are gone, they are gone!
You can also join the Summer Reading Challenge online where there are lots of videos, games and competitions too! Plus the Book Sorter that will recommend some really great reads.
