Marvellous Makers
Lincs Inspire Libraries challenge children to explore creativity and storytelling for this year’s Summer Reading Challenge
This summer, Lincs Inspire Libraries are encouraging children to get creative through the power of reading.
Run in partnership with national charity The Reading Agency, the annual Summer Reading Challenge returns to inspire young imaginations.
Children aged four upwards can sign up for free, where they will be invited to join the Marvellous Makers, a team of animated characters, discovering new books and unlocking rewards.
Children can borrow and read books, eBooks, audiobooks, e-audiobooks and e-magazines across any genre, which count towards personal reading goals set by themselves.

The power of reading should never be underestimated – we look forward to signing lots of children up in our libraries this summer. We’re also running an inter-school competition, where we’ll be awarding a prestigious trophy to the school with the most students who complete the challenge!
Everyone who takes part will receive a free start pack, stickers for encouragement along the way, and a medal and certificate for completing the challenge.
This year’s creative theme spans a range of arts, including music, photography, dance, and story writing. There will also be junk modelling and treasure trails taking place at all Lincs Inspire Libraries
Children can sign up in any Lincs Inspire Library – Cleethorpes, Grimsby, Immingham and Waltham Libraries from July 19. There is a suggested Summer Reading Challenge book list, but any library book counts towards their reading goal.
All children who complete the challenge, will be invited to a celebration event at Grimsby Auditorium on Sunday September 29.
Children can also participate in the challenge online by visiting summerreadingchallenge.org.uk
