With the school holidays soon upon us , if you are looking for activities to keep your children engaged this summer, the Oxfordshire Libraries are running their Summer Reading Challenge 2024 – Marvellous Makers! Starting on the 6 July through to 7 September. This year’s free, fun Challenge is all about creativity and is the perfect summer activity to build your child’s reading skills and confidence during the holidays. All children have to do, is read six books over the summer holidays – as children read, they can collect stickers, to help the Marvellous Makers find items that have gone missing from their creative toolbox! Once the Challenge is completed, children will be awarded a medal and Certificate!
There are a number of other free fun events being held at Wantage Library over the summer – visit their Facebook page for more details: facebook.com/wantagelibrary.
