As part of this year’s Summer Reading Challenge, Read to the Beat, come along and try a range of instruments, including plenty of ukuleles. And you can borrow them for free; all you need is your library card. Our friendly tutors from Make Music Tayside will be there to help you get started. Suitable for learners of all ages.
Summer Reading Challenge 2026
The 2026 Summer Reading Challenge, “Read to the Beat!”, is a free programme for children aged 4–11. It invites children to read six books during the summer holidays, with a fun theme around music, sound, and stories. Families can sign up at any Culture Perth & Kinross library. Children will receive a challenge pack, collect stickers as they go, and earn a certificate and medal when they finish.
The challenge supports children to keep reading over the summer and feel confident and ready for the new school year.
