The Summer Reading Challenge is coming to Enfield Libraries!

The Summer Reading Challenge is an annual reading event aimed at children aged 4-11 to encourage reading over the summer holidays, and to teach children the joy of reading for pleasure. This year’s theme is Wild World Heroes, created by The Reading Agency in partnership with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)
Wild World Heroes will inspire children to explore ways of helping to save the planet, with a focus on taking action for nature and tackling real-world environmental issues, from plastic pollution and deforestation to wildlife decline and nature loss.
The Reading Challenge begins officially from July 10th and children can participate by visiting their local Enfield Library, joining the challenge, and reading six books over the summer that they record and rate in their Reading Records. For every book read each child will receive a sticker, and for every two books they read, each child will get a prize. Each completer will receive a medal and certificate for reading all six books.
To keep with the spirit of the challenge, we ask that children read books at their current reading level, or above if they feel like challenging themselves, and should enjoy the books they pick rather than rushing through just to get the prizes.
Keep an eye out for in person and online events and competitions we will be running for the duration of the challenge, where participants will be in with a chance to win some fantastic prizes.
