I popped in to Streetly Library to catch up with Dominique and the wonderful team there, and to find out more about this years challenge.

For further information about what’s on at our local libraries head to https://go.walsall.gov.uk/walsall-libraries/our-libraries and for more information on the the Reading Challenge go to https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/

Since 1999 the Summer Reading Challenge has been boosting children’s reading skills and confidence during the summer break, preparing them for their return to school. I am delighted to support this fantastic initiative again this year and am keen to visit our local libraries.
