Explore nature and discover the outdoors with a FREE children’s reading challenge at your local Oxfordshire library!
From 5 July to 6 September, children across Oxfordshire can collect stickers 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 2025 Summer Reading Challenge, Story Garden, celebrates adventure, fantasy and the great outdoors. We’ll be inspiring children to tap into a world of imagination through reading and exploring the magical connection between storytelling and nature.
Children will be encouraged to read at least six library books, eBooks or audiobooks of their choice over the summer holidays. As they read they collect stickers – and if they complete the challenge, they will be rewarded with a Story Garden medal and 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.
