Summer Reading Challenge

JOHN O’LEARY

This week, I finished my second library tour of the Summer – this time six libraries in the London Borough of Greenwich, as part of the sports-themed Summer Reading Challenge 2023.
The libraries I visited were Woolwich Centre, West Greenwich, Plumstead, Blackheath, Charlton House and Eltham Centre.

I had the pleasure of talking to families about books and reading before working together on a pop-up activity – with moving parts! We used the lovely characters created by Loretta Schauer for the Summer Reading Challenge as a starting point for our designs – some children used other characters and some created their own.

Thank you to all the children and adults, and library staff who took part for their wonderful enthusiasm and creativity.

My next events are in Redbridge on the 23 Aug:
