Awen Cultural Trust will launch the 2025 Summer Reading Challenge and Awen Libraries’ summer programme of activities with a fun-filled, family event at Newbridge Fields in Bridgend on Saturday 5th July from 12 – 3pm. The event is supported by Bridgend County Borough Council.
‘Fun in the Park’ will include movement and dance sessions, inflatables and soft play, craft activities, story times and story walks, a treasure hunt, giant games and sunflower seed planting. All activities are provided free of charge.
Awen Libraries staff will be on hand to help children and their parents, grandparents or carers register for the Summer Reading Challenge, which this year has the theme of ‘Story Garden – Adventures in Nature and the Great Outdoors’.
Children – usually aged between 4 and 11 years old, although older and younger people can participate too – are encouraged to read six or more library books during the school summer holidays, to earn rewards including stickers, medals and certificates.
The Summer Reading Challenge in Wales is supported by Welsh Government and Books Council of Wales.
