2024 Summer Reading Challenge: Marvellous Makers

Welcome to the 2024 Summer Reading Challenge, Marvellous Makers!

This summer, children will be challenged to read books from the library and join a gang of friends who love coming up with fun creations, exploring ideas and telling stories together.

From junk modelling to music, dance to drawing and painting, this year’s Challenge aims to fire up children’s imaginations and unleash storytelling and creativity through the power of reading.

Any children without their own library card need to join online here (opens in new window) or visit a West Sussex library (opens in new window) to join first, then they can register to take part in the challenge.

You can register now, but the challenge will not start in libraries until Saturday 13 July.

From this date you can start borrowing library books and work your way through the challenge.

You have until Saturday 14 September to complete the challenge.

The information you provide will be used to register your family for the challenge. We will only use your email address to send you information about the challenge.
