It’s not too late to take part!!
Children and families across Warwickshire are invited to turn up the volume on reading this summer as Warwickshire Libraries launch the 2026 Summer Reading Challenge, Read to the Beat!
Starting on Saturday 4 July, the music-themed challenge from The Reading Agency encourages children to discover the joy of reading through rhythm, creativity and storytelling. As part of the National Year of Reading, families are being encouraged to make reading a key part of their summer.
Children can sign up at any Warwickshire County Council-managed library and take part by reading books, collecting rewards and joining a packed programme of free activities. This year’s offer includes interactive workshops with Warwickshire Music, inclusive dance sessions led by Anjali Dance Company, electronic music-making experiences through ‘Build the Beat’ workshops, and weekly Summer Reading Challenge Clubs.
Younger children can enjoy the ‘Summer Book Bears’ scheme alongside regular library favourites such as Rhyme Time, Story Stomp and Duplo Play sessions. Teenagers can get involved through Teen Book Bingo, volunteer opportunities and creative poetry workshops with professional poet Kurly McGeachie.

As the holidays have begun for some children we thought it might be useful to share this!

With it being the start of the Summer Holidays we thought it would be a good idea to highlight the importance of sun safety.
Infants have skin that is thinner and more sensitive than that of older children, making them more susceptible to sun damage.

If you have concerns about ensuring proper protection for your child, please visit your local pharmacy for advice.
