Hertfordshire Libraries: Summer Reading Challenge 2025
Story Garden – Adventures in Nature and the Great Outdoors - is coming to a library near you this summer! Children can read any library book of their choice; fiction, non-fiction, picture books or books they share with parents and carers – they all count. Children under four are not forgotten, with a special version of Story Garden just for them. The challenge runs from Saturday 5 July to Saturday 6 September 2025 in all Hertfordshire libraries.
How children can take part:
- From 5 July, sign up for FREE in branch at your library
- Read any six library books. All reading counts including listening to e-audiobooks, and parents or carers reading to younger ones.
- After every two books, come back and tell us something about the books to collect stickers.
Once they have read all six books and completed the challenge, children will receive a personalised certificate and a medal, whilst stocks last. They will also be entered into our prize draw to win a ticket to a creative, interactive workshop with Sean Taylor, an award-winning author. The challenge finishes on Saturday 6 September (or Sunday 7 September if your local branch is open).
