This summer, children aged from four to 11-years-old, can visit Gainsborough Library to join the 'Marvellous Makers' Summer Reading Challenge, firing up their imaginations through the power of reading and creative expression.

Children will be encouraged to explore new books and stories while taking part in free activities, from arts and crafts to music and more.
