Space Chase, the Summer Reading Challenge 2019 has officially started in libraries across the UK!

This summer we’re heading to space for a very special mission – check out our blog and watch our video to learn more about this year’s theme.

Every time you read a library book for the Summer Reading Challenge, you’ll get a step closer to helping The Rocket family find the naughty alien crew and the books they’ve stolen from the Moon Library.

Read six library books to complete the Challenge and receive exclusive rewards, including a Space Chase certificate.

Just watch out for asteroids, comets and black holes along the way!

 
Signing up for Space Chase is easy: simply visit your local library to get started.
It’s completely free to join and the sooner you go, the longer you’ll have to read your books.
