About Celebrate the Summer Reading Challenge
In previous years, our singing, drawing, rapping celebration of reading for pleasure has seen us joined by Jordan Stephens, Hannah Lee, Allen Fatimaharan, Trish Cooke, Alex Wharton, Sandra A. Agard and Annette Pryce – and, of course, our good friends at Camden Libraries!
And now we're planning the next party! Save the date for 10 July when a new cast of sensational writers and creatives will be with us to help your class discover the magic of reading.
To be informed when tickets are released, please email schools@bl.uk with the subject: 10 July 2026 event.
