What's on

Children aged 4-11 are invited to join the 2024 Summer Reading Challenge. This year's theme is Marvellous Makers! You can see the Marvellous Makers book collection HERE. There's also a mini challenge for pre-school children.

The Summer Reading Challenge aims to prevent the "summer dip" learning loss many children experience over the holidays when they aren't in school. With libraries' support, it provides a free, fun way to keep young minds active. In 2023, over 685,000 children across the UK participated.

Sign up at the Broomhill Community Library reception desk.
