Always question, always wonder, always read.
Our 2025 Reading Challenge for kids this summer hopes to spark the imagination with a Science Theme.
As part of the lead-up to the challenge, children aged 4–12 were invited to design a banner to represent this year’s theme. The winning design, is now featured in libraries across North Lanarkshire throughout the summer.
Look out for the banners, posters and information in the branches about the summer activities going on throughout the school holidays.
We will have some great videos from You Tube hit STEM with Mr N on our own YouTube channel, so don’t forget to check that out.
The Challenge
We challenge you to read 6 books over the Summer Holidays! The Challenge runs from Saturday 14 June to Saturday 23 August.
During that time , you can register to joint the challenge and take part for FREE. Don’t worry if you don’t already have a library card – we can sign you up on the day.
