Bookbug's Library Challenge

Take Part in Bookbug’s Library Challenge

Bookbug’s Library Challenge is a free initiative that encourages pre-school children from birth upwards to discover and enjoy their local library. Bookbug’s Library Challenge commences on Saturday 8th January and runs throughout the year.

Your child will have the chance to collect beautifully illustrated certificates when they borrow books or visit the library.

Libraries have a range of great children's books you can borrow for free, and your baby or toddler is never too young to join.

Sign up to Bookbug's free and fun Library Challenge - it's an easy way to enjoy books!

How to take part

• Join your local library and pick up your child's collector's card
• Collect a stamp each time your child borrows books or visit the library for an event
• When your card is full, swap it for a certificate for your child to keep
• Start collecting stamps on a new card! There are lots of certificates to collect
• Every couple of months your local library will have a prize draw where one lucky winner could receive a book or a mini-bookbug.

Pick up a collector’s card at your local library or download one here:
