  • Children sign up at their local library, receive a Gadgeteers poster and their first set of stickers
  • Children borrow and read at least four library books of their own choice during the summer, collecting more special stickers to become Gadgeteers     
  • Children who complete the Summer Reading Challenge receive a certificate, medal and Gadgeteer kit bag!

The Summer Reading Challenge is produced by The Reading Agency and delivered in partnership with libraries. This year the Reading Agency have teamed up with the Science Museum Group to create “Gadgeteers”, inspiring children to use their curiosity and creativity to discover the science behind the everyday, and celebrate the role of the imagination in both reading and the sciences.
