Welcome to the Summer Reading Challenge!

The Summer Reading Challenge is the UK’s biggest reading for pleasure programme for children aged 4 to 11, delivered via public libraries.

Children can sign up at their local library or online –

Contact your local library today.

Last year, in Conwy Libraries, 1043 children joined the Challenge.

The Summer Reading Challenge:

Significantly improves reading confidence and independence

For children who took part in 2022:

• 77% read more over the summer holidays
• 75% improved their reading skills
• 71% felt more confident about their reading

How it works:

• Children sign up through their local library and receive a collector folder.
• They set a reading goal and borrow books of their choice during the summer, collecting special stickers and incentives.
• Library staff help children to discover new books that suit their interests and reading level and run a programme of free themed activities in the library.
• Children who complete the Challenge are presented with a certificate and a medal.
• Children can take part online, too! Summer Reading Challenge

This year Conwy Libraries are working in partnership with Conwy Leisure Services and a free 7 day pass to use the facilities within Ffit Conwy Leisure Centres will be available for the first 100 parents / carers whose children sign up for the challenge!
