We are getting ready to launch this year’s Summer Reading Challenge: https://www.kent.gov.uk/leisure-and-community/libraries/summer-reading-challenge
Read to the Beat at Kent Libraries, and we would really value your support in helping us reach local families and children.
The Challenge runs from Saturday 4 July to Saturday 5 September and is free for children aged 4 to 11. It encourages children to enjoy reading and take part in activities at their local library.
This year’s theme is Read to the Beat, celebrating music, rhythm and creativity through reading.
We have created a downloadable Summer Reading Challenge promotional pack https://we.tl/t-m7kJ63CzEkGE5anW for partners with ready-to-use materials, including social media posts and a poster.
If you’re able to support, you could:
share information through your channels
include a mention in newsletters or communications
display or share materials with your audiences
Even a small action can help more children take part. We appreciate not everyone can print the full colour promotional posters, if you would like to display one, please contact your local library who will be able to help.
Kent Libraries will also be running free activities and events throughout the Challenge, https://local.kent.gov.uk/kb5/kent/directory/results.page?qt=summer+reading+challenge&sorttype=relevancehelping, children stay engaged over the summer.
If you have any questions or would like to work more closely with your local library, please feel free to get in touch.
