The Summer Reading Challenge

Animal Agents – 15 July to 3 September 2017

It’s that time of year again when children aged 4 to 11 years are challenged to read any six books during the summer holiday and receive rewards after each book.

This year there’s something peculiar happening at the local library and that’s where the Animal Agents come in! It’s a detective agency manned by all kinds of clever animals; furry, scaly and slippery – and these guys are out to crack the case with a little help from their friends. From solving the case of the graffiti writing to the strange case of a missing lunch, children will join in the fun with the Animal Agents by reading along.

As children read library books on the Summer Reading Challenge, they will receive a host of stickers, some with mysterious smells. By collecting the stickers on their collector folder, young readers will help the Animal Agents find out what’s really been going on behind the scenes and who is to blame!

[alert color=”yellow”]For young people aged from 12 to 17 years, we challenge you to catch up on your reading and read four books during the summer break, and you could win A pRize. You will be entered into a prize draw to win Beats headphones.[/alert]

You can register for the Summer Reading Challenge at your local library.

If you are not already a member or Southwark Libraries, join online.
