Grays Library is open today but please note that due to the cold weather there is no access via the Cromwell Road entrance. Access is via the main entrance on Orsett Road. Issues with heating are ongoing but have been reported, and we will update accordingly.
During school holidays, children's reading skills can 'dip'. Reading Challenges encourage children to continue reading for enjoyment outside the classroom. They also help families and teachers provide free-to-access fun activities over the holiday.
At winter time, The Reading Agency turns its Summer Reading Challenge website into a Winter Mini Challenge.
The Winter Mini Challenge is a free online reading challenge where children can take part, find fun activities and earn rewards for reading.
The Winter Mini Challenge takes place online from Monday 1 December through to Friday 20 February.
When the Reading Agency's Summer Reading Challenge website changes to the The Reading Agency: Winter Mini Challenge, you can sign-up to take part in the challenge.
Children who complete the Winter Mini Challenge online will be sent a link to download their personal certificate.
Boost your reading for the Winter Mini Challenge by borrowing books from any Thurrock library.
