Summer Reading Challenge 2022
The Big Salford Summer Read
Year 7 students get ready for an amazing adventure this summer with the Big Salford Summer Read. Collect your free passport and map from any Salford library…and set sail on a mind-blowing reading journey of a lifetime!
What is it?
We are calling all reading voyagers aged 4-12 years old to take the trip of a lifetime into the land of books. Enjoy some of our fabulous reads, exciting rewards and fun activities to spark your imagination. Reading voyagers need to be a member of Salford Libraries to take part. Joining is free and easy!
When you’re ready to embark on your reading journey, pop down to any Salford library and join up. All joiners receive a reading passport and a map of the Land of Books. Every time you visit we’ll stamp your passport – there are lots of stamps to collect! You choose your own reading goal – how many books will you read on your reading journey? Earn a certificate of achievement for completing your reading goal.
Each island in the land of books offers a challenge that will expand your horizons. There are plenty of rewards for discovering books, including stickers and badges to collect for each book read. We offer so many ways to enjoy stories, from browsing the newest titles at your local library to reading or listening to books using the Borrowbox app.
For the truly adventurous, you can tackle our super-challenge and read every day over summer! Super explorers that complete the super challenge will receive a special medal.
And once you’ve completed your reading journey, why not go on another journey and explore the Salford Literacy Trail? There are twenty book-shaped sculptures to discover around the city! Find out more. #SalfordBookBenches.
