Children urged to book in for summer reading challenge
The Chester Chronicle
|June 26, 2025
CHILDREN under 12 years can join in the Summer Reading Challenge at Cheshire West and Chester Council's libraries from Saturday, July 5.
-
This year's theme is Story Garden Adventures in Nature and the Great Outdoors. This exciting new theme will inspire children to tap into a world of imagination through reading, exploring the magical connection between storytelling and nature.
The challenge is a great way to enjoy reading in all formats over the summer holidays. Whether it be a book from the library or an eBook or eAudiobook from the digital collection, there's something to suit everyone's interests and reading abilities.
From animal handling to moon-rock handling, stone-arrow making to face-painting, the Story Garden Summer Reading Challenge events will provide plenty of opportunities for children to explore their imagination and unlock their inner maker through the power of reading.
This story is from the June 26, 2025 edition of The Chester Chronicle.
