There's just one week to go in this year's Summer Reading Challenge. You have until Saturday 5 September!

We hope you've all enjoyed the theme 'Read to the Beat', from The Reading Agency partnered with Universal Music Group UK
There's still enough time for children to complete the challenge by visiting your local library to tell us all about the books you've read over the summer.
