As our summer reading challenge draws to an end,
Let's take some time to reflect and spend
Some time on remembering all we have read
And what an exciting adventure we've led.
Bookstart Bear has enjoyed his time,
Reading to the Beat and making new rhyme
He's excited for the next challenge to come his way
But that's a secret (Book Quest) for another day 🤫

So don't forget to visit your local library to collect your final Summer Reading Challenge prizes! The challenge finishes on Sunday 13th September.

But don't be sad, we've got a secret Book Quest available for all kids aged 5-14

Thank you to everyone that joined us throughout the summer holidays for our Summer Reading Challenge Craft sessions! 🎸

Some exceptionally crafting was done - from making your own tambourines and guitars, or rockstar glasses and K-pop wands or music mobiles and festivals flower crowns and bracelets.

While our all our events at City Library for Read to the Beat are now over, you still have time to complete this year’s summer reading challenge and earn your medal! 🏅

"I can only hope that you will take away a sound belief that if you’re searching for where you belong you always have a home within yourself." A quote from his book - Vagabond- by Tim Curry.
Rest in peace.
