Wow, Boroughbridge! We've had a fantastic turnout this year with 162 children signing up to read over the school holidays. That's 27 more than last year!

Even better news? 28 of our brilliant young readers have already crossed the finish line and completed the whole challenge! 🙌🎉

But the music isn't over yet! 🎶 If your child is still working through their six library books, there is still 3 weeks left to turn those pages.

Parents, let’s help the remaining readers finish strong before the new term starts. Every book, comic, or audiobook counts! Head into the Library to check in, get those final stickers, and celebrate their success. 🏅❤️

Let's get that completion number even higher!
