Once again libraries in South Gloucestershire are inviting all  4 to 11-years-old to take part in the Summer Reading Challenge. This year’s theme is Animal Agents, based on a detective agency staffed by a variety of clever animals – furry, scaly and slippery – who are out to crack a case at the library with a little help from their friends. The challenge, which involves reading six books, runs until 16th September.

You can find out more about the challenge and a range of free activities running through the holidays at www.southglos.gov.uk/childrenslibrary
