A “SUPER Sign-up Day” event for the 2026 iteration of The Reading Agency’s nationwide Summer Reading Challenge will be held at Jersey Library later this month.
The event, which is set to include music, stories and craft activities, is due to take place on Saturday 27 June from 9am to 5.30pm.
Now in its 27th year, the Summer Reading Challenge seeks to encourage children to read throughout the summer holidays by setting goals and collecting rewards.
Children who visit the library on “Super Sign-up Day” to register for the free challenge will also receive a free swim pass for AquaSplash.
Sign-up is also available throughout the holidays at Jersey Library as well as Communicare Library or the Mobile Library.
All children who read at least three books before 19 September will receive a free swim pass for AquaSplash, meaning children who register on the launch day can receive up to two free swim passes.
The passes must be redeemed before 1 October.
Chief librarian Ed Jewell said: “Super Sign-Up Saturday is all about igniting children’s excitement for reading right from the start of the summer holidays.”
He added: “We’re excited to welcome families to our library and help imaginations bloom as part of this year’s Summer Reading Challenge.”
