Big Wild Read in Ryedale Libraries

Summer fun for 4 - 11 year olds. Crafts, stories, face painting, animal tracking, creepy crawlies and much more. This year's Summer Reading Challenge, "The Big Wild Read” is all about protecting nature and being kind to our environment. North Yorkshire's libraries will again take part in the largest national reading promotion for young people aged 4-11. There will be lots of activities taking place at various locations across Ryedale, including Discover Bumblebees and Discover Animal Tracking at Kirkbymoorside Library on 26th July and 30th August when the AONB team will be joining forces with Ryedale's Countryside Officer, Susan Bragg.
