As part of this year’s Summer Reading Challenge theme, ‘Read to the Beat’, join storyteller Lindsey Gibb for a storytelling event at the AK Bell Library to celebrate the start of this year’s challenge.
Step into a place where shelves whisper, pages glow, and every book is a doorway. Where Stories Stay is a warm, playful storytelling session for families, celebrating libraries as magical homes of books, memories, and shared adventures. Suitable for primary school-aged children and families.
Book your spot at the AK Bell Library.
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.
