Sign up for Fabula Reading Challenge launching on 6 July!
Calling all super kids aged 2-12 years.
Come and take part in a new reading challenge at Redbridge Libraries from 6 July to 14 September, where YOU get to decide how many books you read.
Read whatever you enjoy and come and tell us about your favourite things to read!
We’ve got thousands of books and comics for you to discover this summer at your local branch or from home in our virtual library.
We’ll also have loads of cool people to listen to you read and chat to you about what you are reading.
When you finish the challenge you’ll get a certificate and be entered into a prize draw.
Sign up for FREE at any Redbridge Library.
Why not check out all the exciting events we have planned to inspire you to read this summer.
Fabula Reading Challenge for Younger Children
It’s never too early to start your child’s love of books and reading. When you start to read to your child as a baby or toddler, it helps them feel comforted and secure. It relaxes them, helps build their confidence, happiness, and sense of fun. It also builds self-esteem, vocabulary, feeds imagination and even improves their sleeping patterns!
Reading to children is one of the best ways for them to hear language. Children who hear a lot of language do better in school!
Now you know how good reading with your toddler is, why not get your little one their very own library card and take part in the Fabula Reading Challenge with them this summer?
You’ll help them collect a sticker for every book you read to them. And by regularly reading with your toddler, you will set them on a path of later independent reading.
