Read to the Beat, Summer Reading Challenge 2026 officially ended in our libraries on Saturday 12 September. We hope that all children and their families have enjoyed the Challenge this year.
Each year the Challenge, presented by The Reading Agency and delivered by libraries, motivates children to keep reading to build their skills and confidence. Children have to be a library member to take part, but participation is completely free, and they can collect special stickers and rewards along the way. The aim is to read up to six books or achieve six reading related goals, and children can read whatever they like from Surrey Libraries' excellent range, including eBooks and eAudiobooks!
The Summer Reading Challenge will be back again next summer!
