Summer Reading Challenge & Writing Competition

Libraries are great places for children to discover reading for pleasure and there is no better time to do this than during the long summer holidays. 

The Summer Reading Challenge is designed for children between the ages of 4 and 11. It is completely free and last year 699,076 children took part in libraries across the UK.  Every year the Challenge has a new theme. The Summer Reading Challenge 2019 theme is Space Chase, an out-of-this-world adventure inspired by the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing.  Children taking part in the Challenge will join our super space family, The Rockets, for a thrilling mission to track down books nabbed by mischievous aliens! 

Space Chase Reading List 4-7 Year Olds
Space Chase Reading List 8-11 Year Olds

For budding authors, there is a chance to get a story published!  The theme is Space and the story should be a maximum of 500 words.  The best entries will win goody bags and get their work published as an e-book.  Entries should be e-mailed to Bracknell.Library@bracknell-forest.gov.uk.

All entries must include name, age and contact details.
