Get ready for Gadgeteers, arriving online and in your local BCP libraries this summer.

Science is all around you! What do you love doing? Are you a brilliant baker? Or a mega music fan? Are you the tech wizard amongst your friends? Join the Gadgeteers for the Summer Reading Challenge to discover the amazing science and innovation behind the world around you, including some of your favourite things!

Curious? Perfect! Your imagination can unlock endless possibilities…BCP Libraries are teaming up with Science Museum Group for a very special science-themed Challenge that will inspire you to use your imagination and creativity!

Gadgeteers will feature amazing books, awesome rewards, and plenty of ideas for cool experiments and activities to discover the science all around you. The Challenge will be brought to life by top children’s writer and illustrator Julian Beresford.

Children aged 4-11 can visit their local library and take part in this year’s Summer Reading Challenge, which has a science and innovation theme.

To complete the challenge, children need to read 6 books over the summer holidays. They can read any books they enjoy and they will get rewards along the way and a medal and certificate when they have completed the challenge!

If you have a child under 5 they can take part in the mini challenge. They can collect a sticker for every story they’ve shared with a grown-up and will get a gold medal sticker when they’ve enjoyed 6 stories!
