Park and Ride
The National Space Centre, Abbey Pumping Station and Dock all now have
their very own Park and Ride bus stop. Just head to the Birstall Park and
Ride site and hop on a bus to us. The stop is on Abbey Lane, opposite ASDA
supermarket and just a short walk to the Centre (just look for the Rocket
Tower). The Park and Ride option is a great option for special events, wet
school holiday days and when the car park is full.

The Summer
Reading Challenge
The Summer Reading Challenge
takes place every year during the
summer holidays. Children aged 4 -
12 can sign up at your local library,
then read six books of their choice
to complete the Challenge. There
are exclusive rewards to collect
along the way, and it’s FREE to take
part! All over the UK, the theme this
year is “Animal Agents” illustrated
by the UK’s best-selling children’s
illustrator Tony Ross.
Over the Summer Reading
Challenge, we ask each child to
read at least 6 library books. They
can be any books they like – novels,
fact books, joke books, e-books
and audio books, they all countand
library staff can help children
choose books they will really enjoy.
As they read their books, each child
will receive incentives along the way.
These build to become a unique
record of your child’s Summer
Reading Challenge, including fun
SCRATCH and SNIFF stickers for
young readers to discover. Kids are
going to love collecting these.
Parents say: It inspired my
son to read over the summer
when he was losing interest in
reading at school.
Teachers say: Children
usually drop a reading level
when returning to school after
the summer. After the Summer
Reading Challenge, they often
are a level ahead!
Starts Saturday 15th July across Warwickshire Libraries.
It’s FREE! It’s FUN! It’s LOCAL
