The Summer Reading Challenge is back in Inspire libraries this summer and you can take part from now until Sunday 4th September! This year's challenge has been developed in partnership with The Science Museum Group, the world’s leading alliance of science museums. The challenge features the Gadgeteers – six fictional young innovators who, using creative thinking and teamwork, plan a party for their town’s summer fair celebration. Gadgeteers will be a celebration of reading, science and imagination.
There is also a Mini-Challenge for children aged 3 and under. How to take part in the library Children sign up at the library to start their Challenge, collecting the Gadgeteers collector poster. l Borrow books and get reading! Children choose the books they want to read, recording what they have read in their poster. Library staff and volunteers are on hand to chat to children about books they have read. l For every book read, children will pick up stickers (some are smelly!) along with other rewards. They will also discover the inventive ways the Gadgeteers are getting reading for their summer party. l Every child who completes the challenge, by reading 6 library books, receives a medal and certificate. l
The Mini Challenge is a bite sized version of the Summer Reading Challenge for our youngest readers. Children collect stickers on a special collector card for the books they borrow and read. It’s all free, fun and a great way to keep children reading over the summer holidays.
