SUMMER Stars is the public library national summer reading programme for children and Kerry Library invites all children throughout the county to join in the adventure and discover the fun and pleasure of reading over the summer by taking part in our Summer Stars Reading Challenge.

Summer Stars is non-competitive and every child who reads even one book or eBook is regarded as having completed the programme – and it’s all completely free.

From Saturday, June 8 children are invited to visit their local Kerry library and collect a Summer Stars Reading Challenge card to track their reading.

Children are welcome to join Summer Stars at any point over the summer and when they complete the challenge they will receive a medal and certificate of achievement.

Kerry libraries stock a vast range of children’s books suitable for all ages and interests. In addition, BorrowBox, our eBook / eAudiobook / eMagazine service, offers a large selection of titles for children. They have stocked up for the summer with a huge range of favourites and new gems to discover.

Kerry library staff are ready and waiting with great recommendations to help young readers discover new authors and genres they might not have tried before.

During the Summer Stars Reading Challenge, libraries will be hosting storytimes, workshops, board game afternoons, sensory mornings and competition throughout the summer months.
