Turn up the volume on reading this summer with a FREE children’s reading challenge at your local Oxfordshire library!
From 4 July to 5 September, children across Oxfordshire can collect stickers and rewards as they enjoy reading library books. The Summer Reading Challenge encourages children to carry on reading over the holidays and have fun at the same time.
The Summer Reading Challenge 2026: Read to the Beat, in partnership with Universal Music Group UK, celebrates the joy of reading with a theme inspired by music.
Children will be encouraged to set their own reading goal(s) to achieve over the summer holidays. Those who finish the Challenge at an Oxfordshire library will receive a medal, a certificate and entry into a prize draw. Under 4s can take part in a mini challenge with their own special collector’s folder and stickers.
Find out more about the Summer Reading Challenge at Oxfordshire Libraries at www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/summer-reading-challenge. There’s also the Summer Reading Challenge website where children can find book recommendations, games and competitions.
Follow us on Facebook (Oxfordshire Libraries) and please email summerreadingchallenge@oxfordshire.gov.uk if you have any questions.
