It has been great to get out into the community and speak with children about the Summer Reading Challenge 2026!

Over the past few weeks, I've visited Hillside Primary School, Newtonhill Primary School, Portlethen Primary School, and Fishermoss School, sharing information about this year's challenge and encouraging young readers to get involved.

The enthusiasm, excitement, and love of reading I've seen has been fantastic. We can't wait to welcome everyone to take part in the Summer Reading Challenge and remember it is open to all ages.
