Join the Summer Reading Challenge
This year’s challenge encourages children to explore the connection between storytelling and nature.
Through reading, children will uncover magical creatures, vibrant plants, and enchanting landscapes brought to life by award-winning illustrator Dapo Adeola.
Libraries will be transformed into immersive gardens of adventure where children’s imaginations can flourish, supported by free activities and resources.
