The Summer Reading Challenge is back!
Each year the Summer Reading Challenge motivates over 700,000 children across the UK to keep reading through the summer holidays to build their skills and confidence. All primary school aged children can take part, and it's designed for all reading abilities!
Children have until Saturday 7 September to earn their free medal and certificate at any of our libraries in Kent.
