Marvellous Makers Summer Reading Challenge

Get ready for a summer of imagination and creativity at Hatfield Library! The Marvellous Makers Summer Reading Challenge is here to spark the joy of reading and creative arts. In collaboration with The Reading Agency and Create, a leading arts charity, we’re celebrating creativity and storytelling for our young readers. This year’s Challenge is an open invitation for children to explore books and stories, while taking part in free activities. From poetry and music to arts and crafts, there’s something for every young creator. The Challenge begins at all Hertfordshire Libraries from Saturday 6 July, and continues until Saturday 7 September. Children are encouraged to read six library books and collect exclusive stickers along the way. And that’s not all—finishers of the Challenge will receive a medal and certificate, and a chance to win tickets to an interactive poetry workshop with the celebrated poet, Joshua Seigal. Keep an eye out for pop-up Maker Stations during the summer holidays, offering simple, engaging, and free activities designed to unleash the creative spirit in every child. Curious to learn more?
