Don't forget to keep visiting the library to collect your stickers - children who read 6 books will get a certificate and an invite to a special medal ceremony. 🏅

So far, we've had 1423 readers sign up to the Summer Reading Challenge, with a whopping 4408 books borrowed across out library service. If we stacked those books up, they would reach 88m tall, which is about the same as 29 african elephants stood on top of each other. Phew! 🐘
