Have fun with the Silly Squad - children invited to on summer reading challenge with Northumberland Libraries
and live on Freeview channel 276
Its Summer Reading Challenge, an annual event aimed at 4-11-year-olds, will be a little different this year due to coronavirus restrictions.
The all-new digital aspect of the challenge has been launched earlier than usual to keep children reading over the summer and support parents and carers with children at home.

Children are free to read anything that makes them happy - whether a favourite book at home or something new from BorrowBox, the digital library.
Author Jacqueline Wilson, Summer Reading Challenge ambassador, said: “How sensible to have a silly theme. We've all had to deal with serious and scary issues, so it's time for a bit of fun.”
