This summer's Summer Reading Challenge, Marvellous Makers, starts on 13 July.
Children aged 4 to 11 can visit any of our libraries to register for this free challenge. Children taking part will explore a whole range of creative arts and enjoy free materials from North Yorkshire libraries and online via the Challenge website. The Marvellous Makers characters have been brought to life by children's illustrator Natelle Quek.
Children who are not currently members of the library can join for free.
Good luck with the challenge!
Summer Reading Challenge events
There are many events for families taking place over the summer holidays to support the challenge, from creative writing, Lego, learning to knit to digital coding.
Events are free unless a cost is stated. Many are drop-in events, but places are limited for some events and so you will need to book a place with your library in advance.
Please contact your local library for further information about what's on at your library.
