Please share with friends and family who has children between 4 and 12.

Get ready to Read to the Beat at Blackburn with Darwen Libraries this summer.



Our annual Summer Reading Challenge for children age 4 – 12 years gets underway from 1st July, with children encouraged to read and rate six library books before 30th September, collecting stickers and prizes along the way.

Audio books, eBooks and eAudio (on our Borrow Box app) can all count towards the final total, and this year children can mix and match with a range of reading related challenges too.



Enrolment is completely FREE of charge, so don’t delay! Visit your nearest Blackburn with Darwen Library from 1st July onwards and get your Read to the Beat challenge started.



Read to the Beat is a partnership between local libraries, The Reading Agency and Universal Music Group.
