We are delighted to support this year's Libraries NI Big Summer Read, which encourages children to continue reading throughout the summer holidays.β˜€οΈπŸ“–

The 2026 theme, 🌳 The Story Tree 🌳, allows children to read at their own pace and explore books that match their interests. Every book read helps their Story Tree grow, making reading a fun and rewarding summer activity. πŸŒ±πŸ“šβœ¨

🌟 How it works
πŸ“ Children can sign up at their local library.
πŸ“… The programme runs from 29 June to 31 August 2026.
πŸ”– Children who read 5 books will receive a bookmark.
πŸ† Children who read 10 books will receive a certificate to recognise their achievement, which can also be celebrated in school.

Reading regularly over the summer helps children maintain and develop their literacy skills πŸ“–πŸ’‘, and this free programme provides a great opportunity for families to enjoy reading together. πŸ‘¨‍πŸ‘©‍πŸ‘§‍πŸ‘¦β€οΈ
