Monmouthshire libraries are inviting all children aged 4 – 11 to become Wild World Heroes this summer. This year’s Summer Reading Challenge is all about nature, amazing books, lovely rewards, and plenty of ideas for taking care of our environment.  It is free and very easy to take part.

Children need to sign up at their nearest library, where they will receive a foldout map of Wilderville to keep a record of their Summer Reading Challenge journey.  As children read library books of their own choice, they collect special stickers to complete their map.

To complete the challenge, children need to read four library books during the summer break. Each child who successfully completes the Challenge will receive lovely prizes including a certificate, a Wild World Heroes medal and a Wild World Heroes kit bag. 

The challenge is designed to encourage children to pick up new books and enjoy reading, especially over the long summer holidays where children’s quality of reading can take a  ‘dip’. Each year, the Summer Reading Challenge encourages children to keep reading and to discover wonderful new books.

Produced by The Reading Agency, this year in partnership with WWF UK, the annual Summer Reading Challenge is delivered by libraries throughout the UK. Wild World Heroes, Summer Reading Challenge 2021 starts in libraries across Monmouthshire on Saturday 10th July and finishes on Saturday 18th September.

Children can also take part online at https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk
