Buntingford Library Visit – Summer Reading Challenge
Fri 17 Jul 2026We were delighted to welcome staff from Buntingford Library, who visited the children to introduce the Hertfordshire Summer Reading Challenge. The children learned about this year’s theme, “Read to the Beat”, which encourages young readers to explore the links between stories, music and creativity. [summerread...nge.org.uk].
The challenge is free to join through any Hertfordshire Library. Children are encouraged to read six library books over the summer holidays, earning stickers and rewards along the way. Books can be read independently, shared with family members or enjoyed as audiobooks.
The visit inspired great excitement and we hope many of our children will take part in the challenge and enjoy a summer filled with reading.
