Join the 2026 Summer Reading Challenge: Read to the Beat.
This exciting new theme will celebrate the joy of music and the power it has to move, inspire and connect us – all through the magic of reading.
Children can sign up to take part in ReadtotheBeat at Tameside libraries this summer holidays. It’s fun, friendly and absolutely free! All you have to do is read 6 library books and collect rewards along the way.
The challenge launches on Saturday 4 July and runs until Christmas whilst stocks last, so there is plenty of time to get on with that reading!
What do I do?
- Register for the Challenge at any Tameside library.* You need to be a library member to take part, but it’s free to join the library. You’ll get a Read to the Beat booklet and magazine!
- Choose books to read (anything from the library that you like!).
- Read your books and write them on your Read to the Beat booklet.
- Collect stickers and prizes as you read your books.
What do I get when I complete the challenge?
- A Read to the Beat medal.
- A Read to the Beat certificate
- If you finish before Saturday 19 September, entry into a special prize draw to win your own disco package with everything you need to turn your home into a dance floor!
What else can I do?
- Come along to our free activities! There’s lots going on for children in Tameside libraries this summer. Check the website for updates.
- Log onto the Read to the Beat website to write reviews, play games and have fun.
- Tell your friends about Read to the Beat and get them to take part too!
Enjoy the books and have fun with the activities!
Special Pre-school Challenge!
Pre-school children can also take part in a special Read to the Beat challenge! Children who will not be at primary school in September can collect a Read to the Beat Mini-Challenge card on which to collect stickers when they read books, plus a gold medal sticker when they complete the challenge.
*If you usually only use the library during Open+ hours and want to take part, please send us a message using the link below, including the name and library card number of children wanting to take part and the library you go to. Rewards can then be left in the reserved book area in the library. Alternatively, you may wish to collect all the rewards at the end of the Challenge during staffed hours.
