Each year children can join the Summer Reading Challenge in Oxfordshire Libraries.  This fun, free challenge is produced by The Reading Agency and is the perfect summer activity to build your child’s reading skills and confidence during the holidays.

Keep looking out for announcements of the new theme and start date! 

How to take part in Oxfordshire Libraries

Children will need to be a member of Oxfordshire Libraries. 

Join Oxfordshire Libraries, it’s free! 

Once the challenge has started, children can sign up at their nearest Oxfordshire Library. As they read library books, they visit us to tell us about them and collect prizes along the way.

Your children can set their own reading goal – we recommend 6 books over 3 library visits.  They can read any library books they like, including eBooks and eAudio from Oxfordshire Libraries.  We always have great book displays for fantastic reading ideas.

Mini Challenge

Under 4s can sign up to a mini challenge during the summer with their own special collector’s folder and stickers.
