This summer, we’re inviting kids of all ages to join the challenge! What challenge, you ask? The Summer Reading Challenge! Can the kids of the Sutherland Shire read 15,000 books before summer’s end?

How it Works

  1. Visit the library and borrow great children’s books
  2. Read and enjoy those books
  3. Return to the library and borrow more great children’s books
  4. Read and enjoy those books
  5. Repeat until we smash our goal of 15,000 books

Keep up to date on the challenge’s progress by checking the display at your local library or following us on Facebook or Instagram.
