The Summer Reading Challenge

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

Keep looking out for announcements for this year’s theme and start date.

  • Baby bounce and rhyme and storytime sessions

    If you have a baby, you can come to our baby bounce and rhyme sessions.

  • Reading resources

    Bookstart gives free packs of books and information to parents of babies and pre-school children, to encourage a love of reading.

  • Children's University

    The Children’s University encourages children aged 5 to 14 years to get new interests and skills by joining learning activities outside of school.
