🥳 The Summer Reading Challenge starts today at all Somerset Libraries! 🥳

Register your child at your local library – all they have to do is read any six books of their choice over the summer holidays. They will receive a free poster pack for registering, then they can collect stickers for each book they read. When they have read all six books, they will get a badge and a certificate!

There is also a Mini Challenge this year for children aged 4 and under, and they will have their own unique stickers to collect!
