🎵 Get ready to Read to the Beat this summer
The Reading Agency’s Summer Reading Challenge is returning to Kent Libraries from Saturday 4 July to Saturday 5 September – and it’s completely free to take part.
Children aged 4 to 11 can join at any time, read what they enjoy and take part in a way that works for them. Whether it’s books, audiobooks or eBooks, it all counts.
This year’s theme, Read to the Beat, celebrates music, rhythm and creativity – bringing stories to life in fun and imaginative ways.
With flexible reading-related goals and rewards along the way, it’s a great way to keep children reading and engaged over the summer.
