Summer reading challenge

What's on

Every year children can take part in a free summer reading challenge at libraries across East Sussex.

This year's challenge will have an Olympics theme with stories from around the world – look out for details at your school or local library in July 2012.

Circus Stars 2011

In 2011 more than 10,000 children got a colourful 3D circus stage and took part in three tasks:

  1. Practice
  2. Reheasal
  3. Showtime.

Each task involved reading books and collecting bookmarks, yo-yos and wristbands. If you finished all three tasks, you received a special Circus Stars medal and certificate presented at school.

Children under four did a Circus Stars Book Crawl with a very special certificate, and children with disabilities took part in our Bag Books mission – read about Bag Books.
