Something BIG is coming this summer!
Get ready for the Big Summer Read, a reading challenge for children and young people aged 0–18.
Read what you love, discover new favourites, try fun challenges and earn chances to win prizes from 1 December 2026 to 31 January 2027.
And our littlest readers can join in too! Reading together counts, so snuggle up and share a story with your baby, toddler or little one. Every story is part of the reading adventure.
Visit your library for reading inspiration, then check back here from 1 December to join the fun. Ready, set, summer reading!
