East Riding Libraries are excited to present 'Gadgeteers: Summer Reading Challenge 2022', and this year are showing that "science is all around".

Produced by The Reading Agency and delivered in partnership with libraries, The Summer Reading Challenge aims to encourage children to read throughout the holidays to prevent a dip in their reading ability during the long break.

Librarian Jess McCarthy said: "The Summer Reading Challenge is always popular in the East Riding, and is a very important part of the summer for many children, as it's really important that they do keep reading during the summer, whilst having fun at the same time.

"Register at your local library and get your free collector's card and stickers; keep us updated on your reading throughout the six weeks and then visit us again for your super certificate and finisher's medal.

"We also have an amazing programme of events with a Gadgeteers theme, including Lego Art, Storytimes, puppet shows, Lab Rascals, Lion Learners and more!"

These events promote and encourage an enjoyment of STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) subjects in a fun and informal way for families and children.

To sign up for the Summer Reading Challenge, visit your local East Riding Library.
