Join Summer Reading Challenge at Barbican and Community Libraries!

The Summer Reading Challenge 2025 has launched at the Barbican and Community Libraries! It is free to take part and runs until 13th September. The Summer Reading Challenge encourages children aged 4-11 to keep reading during the school summer holidays and helps them find books they enjoy. For children aged 3 and under, they can sign up for the Mini Challenge, which is a bite sized version of the Summer Reading Challenge for our younger readers.

You can join at Artizan Street Library, Barbican Children’s Library, or Shoe Lane Library. This year’s theme is Story Garden - Adventures in Nature and the Great Outdoors. For more information, visit the webpage: https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/service ... challenge

We are organising many events during the summer at all three locations, so please see the link: https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/service ... 2025-06-17

Our libraries are in full bloom with flowery decorations. Come have a look and register for the challenge!
