Wandsworth Libraries is delighted to announce the Summer Reading Challenge 2022, launching on 09 July. This year, in partnership with The Reading Agency and the Science Museum we’re celebrating the science, engineering and innovation all around us, and – of course – reading! We are back with a bang this year running Gadgeteers in all our libraries.

It is the UK’s biggest annual reading promotion to children ages 4-11.The Reading Agency’s national Summer Reading Challenge has been running in partnership with public libraries since 1999.

Starting 09 July, children can visit Wandsworth Libraries to register for the Challenge. They will need a library card, which they can also set up if they visit with their legal guardian.
