Summer Reading Challenge 2026

 

In partnership with The Reading Agency, Luton Libraries are proud to present this year’s Summer Reading Challenge: Read to the Beat.

 

The challenge aims to keep children reading throughout the summer holidays and rewards them for reading for pleasure. Your children can sign up for FREE at any Luton Library from 4th July 2026. The Challenge finishes on Saturday 5th September 2026.

 

Children are encouraged to read any 6 library books over the summer holidays. This could include listening to an e-audiobook, reading independently, or reading with parents or carers – any reading is good reading in our book!

 

There are also some reading and library related challenges as part of Read to the Beat. These challenges are listed in the packs that children receive when they sign up for the challenge and children can complete them to earn reward stickers if they choose to.

 

Across our libraries, an action packed timetable of fun activities will also become available. Please check back to find out more.
