Summer Reading Challenge events across Kensington and Chelsea

With summer holidays just around the corner, you’re probably thinking, what’s happening in my area and how can I get involved? The Summer Reading Challenge is back, and this year we’re encouraging children to read and be active.

Ready, Set, Read!

Children will join a fictional team (and their animal mascots!) as they use their skills to weave their way through a summer obstacle course. Developed in collaboration with the Youth Sport Trust, the 2023 Summer Reading Challenge will celebrate play and participation, encouraging children to engage in games and sports in any way that best suits them. Ready, Set, Read! will showcase how reading can be active and engaged, and can itself involve teamwork and community.

Across libraries in Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster, we’ll be running a range of events to attend across the summer period. For more information, pop into your local library.
