Children Invited to Sign Up to the Summer Reading Challenge


One of a host of fun holiday events at H&F's four main libraries

To take part in Animal Agents, Summer Reading Challenge 2017 is read six library books over the holidays, collecting stickers, rewards and clues along the way.

If you read six library books, you’ll receive a certificate and might solve the mystery too.

The Summer Reading Challenge is free and children all ages can take part.

To join in the fun, visit your local library to register.

H&F Libraries also have a fun programme of free events across our libraries this summer. Children of all ages are welcome in libraries; however for their safety children under the age of eight must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
