Look out for Dennis, Gnasher and the rest of the gang making their way

to Manchester Libraries for this year’s Summer Reading Challenge –

Mischief Makers.

If you’re 4 to 11 years old, you can sign up and collect stickers, fun

giveaways and a certificate by reading library books over the summer

holiday. It’s free to borrow books and take part. You can read whatever

kinds of books you like – you don’t have to stick to a list or read what

the teacher tells you! Find out how you can Bee a Reader with Read

Manchester too, and take part in the Bee a Reader Challenge.

You can also visit the Summer Reading Challenge website at mischief-makers.org.uk to find out about great books you might want to read,

play games and more!

This year we also have a mini-challenge for the under-4s, so all the

family can get involved and get the reading bug.

The Reading Challenge is supported by over 200 activities in libraries

over the summer holidays. You can also find all the activities listed in

this booklet by visiting manchester.gov.uk/summerreadingchallenge

WIN WIN WIN!We love to reward you for reading, and this year’s no different!Every time you read six books, you’ll be

entered into our prize draw to win a bike

(worth up to £100). Each library will also

have goody-bag winners and special prizes.

You could also win prizes for your primary

school too. Schools are being invited to get

involved – could your school be the one

with the most Summer Reading Challenge

finishers? Ask your friends to join up and

make sure your school is the one winning

the prizes. The top prize is an author

visiting your school for a whole day.

MINI-CHALLENGE FOR UNDER-4SThis year, under-4s can also get

involved by joining the mini-

challenge. The idea’s the same –

read six books and be entered into

a prize draw to win a goody bag.

We’ve also got some activities just

for you – look out for Active Tots in

the activity listing.
