Summer Reading Challenge fun at Gainsborough Library

Nature is nurturing reading at Gainsborough Library as children dig into this year's Summer Reading Challenge.

More than 2,000 children across the county have already signed up to take part in the fun challenge at core libraries, which has the theme 'Story Garden', and is free to join.

The challenge is for children to read six library books over the summer holidays - of their own choice - and receive prizes along the way. There are weekly free, fun and crafty activities to take part in too during the school summer holidays.

Weekly activities so far at Gainsborough Library include suncatcher crafting and sunflower planting . And there’s still plenty of fun to come! Upcoming activities include: Make a fairy garden – create a magical miniature world and Build a bug hotel – give creepy crawlies a cozy home!
