Hello and welcome to Sligo Library Summer Stars Reading Challenge 2025

Summer is here!  And that means that libraries around the country are once again celebrating reading with our Summer Stars Reading Challenge for children.

Running from June 3rd until mid-August, Summer Stars is an opportunity for children to enjoy reading during their summer holiday with FREE events, rewards, and incentives along the way.
