Read any six library books. All reading counts including listening to e-audiobooks, and parents or carers reading to younger ones.
After every two books, come back and tell us something about the books to collect stickers.
Once they have read all six books and completed the challenge, children will receive a personalised certificate and a medal, whilst stocks last.
They will also be entered into our prize draw to win a ticket to a creative, interactive workshop with Sean Taylor, an award-winning author.
The challenge finishes on Saturday 6 September.
