\nHave you joined the Summer Reading Challenge yet? There’s still time! It\u2019s free to join the library, get your Story Garden booklet, and take part.<\/p>\n

From now until 6 September, students aged 4 to 11 can take part in this year\u2019s challenge, called Story Garden. All you need to do is read six library books \u2014 any kind you like: stories, facts, picture books, joke books, audiobooks or e\u2011books. Every book gets you a sticker for your booklet, and when you finish, you\u2019ll earn a medal, a certificate, and a chance to win a prize!<\/p>\n

Why does an elephant use her trunk as a bookmark?
\nBecause she nose<\/em> where she stopped reading!<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a Mini Challenge for under-4s, with their own sticker folder.
\n
\nAt Abingdon Library, older readers aged 11 and up \u2014 including local secondary school students, town councillors, and other volunteers \u2014 are helping at the desk, handing out booklets and stickers and cheering readers on.<\/p>\n

The Summer Reading Challenge runs in libraries all over the UK. Last year, nearly 600,000 children took part.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re over 11, you can still join the library and read books for your own enjoyment \u2014 you won’t need stickers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
