Authors talk, local art and Councillor’s surgeries

August:
The Summer Reading Challenge is here again!


The theme this year is Space, but children can read whatever they like - fiction, fact books, poetry, joke books, picture books, audio books - just as long as they are borrowed from the library.

Children receive special rewards each time they finish a book and there's a certificate for everyone who completes the Challenge.
