Summer Reading Challenge
Calling all 4–11-year-olds, parents, and carers
Have your kids completed the Summer Reading Challenge , Read to the Beat’ yet?!?
The Summer Reading Challenge is in full swing at Staffordshire Libraries.
Your kids have until 14th September to complete the challenge and for them to collect their certificate and medal from their local Staffordshire Library!
Completing the challenge gives children a great sense of achievement and some schools even congratulate all the completers in assemblies, so it’s well worth making sure they have popped into the Library for their medals and certificates.
They can listen to audio books, read graphic novels or even read to a younger brother or sister! You can also choose eBooks or eAudios for children from our fantastic eLibrary; just download the Borrowbox App and sign in with your Library card and PIN.
For more information contact your local library. It is FREE to take part and is a great way to get your children ready for the Autumn term.
Find out more at https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/ or pop along to your local library.

The LNRS is a long-term plan and interactive map that sets out how we can restore habitats, protect wildlife and improve green spaces across the area. It brings together evidence and local knowledge to identify where action could have the biggest impact.
This is open to everyone- residents, businesses, landowners and communities and will help shape how we protect and improve nature across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.
