This summer, tap into a world of imagination and explore the magical connection between storytelling and nature.
Sign up for free at your local library from Saturday 5 July 2025 and receive a Story Garden collector pack.
You’ll get a special edition Story Garden sticker for your collector pack every time you attend an event in the library or return a book. There are 6 stickers to collect in total, and everyone who collects 6 stickers will receive a Summer Reading Challenge medal and certificate!
Story Garden is open to all children from the ages of 4 to 11, it’s completely free to take part, and you can update your progress through the Challenge at any library in the city.
You can read any library book you choose (stories, fact books, comics – they all count!). You can also read digital eBooks using our free BorrowBox app. If you read books on Borrowbox, please ask the library staff for your collector pack and stickers.
The Challenge ends on 13th September. Good luck!
