Reading Heroes

This summer, we challenge you to be a Reading Hero and help Dr Paige Turner investigate the strange cases of wrecked robots happening in our libraries. Could there be someone sinister behind it?

If you are aged between 4 and 12, then YOUR LIBRARY NEEDS YOU. Keep up your reading over the summer, complete some cool science experiments, and bag prizes along the way.

Now back for its third year with a new story, new villain, and new prizes!

How it works 

Sign up for free at your local library and receive a booklet containing all the information you need to help fix Alphabot, including a comic book story to unlock along the way.   

To become a Reading Hero, read five books over the course of the summer, collecting stickers and prizes as you go!

To become a Reading Superhero, read five books and complete 3 of the tasks in the booklet. Reading Superheroes enter a prize draw for a £50 Lego kit of your choice!

If you're taking part, you can explore one of Lancashire’s amazing museums for free (except Lancaster Castle, where you get 20% off), and don't miss our great Reading Heroes events at all our libraries in Lancashire.
