ESCC Library Summer Reading Challenge

East Sussex libraries are calling on children aged 4 to 12 to read six books over the summer months as part of Summer Reading Challenge 2026: 'Read to the Beat'. This year’s challenge will inspire children to explore the magical connection between storytelling and music.

The Summer Reading Challenge aims to keep imaginations moving over the school holiday. Children can read any library book of their choice. eBooks, eAudiobooks and books on CD also count towards the challenge.

Free events will also be taking place at East Sussex libraries to encourage children to get creative and have fun. For more information and to sign up visit www.eastsussex.gov.uk/src

The Summer Reading Challenge is developed by The Reading Agency and delivered in partnership with public libraries.
