Grays Library open.
Grays Library is open today but the Cromwell Road entrance is currently closed. Access is via the main entrance in Orsett road. The Library may be slightly colder than usual as we carry out the remaining repairs to the heating.
What's on at your library
Children's Winter Mini Challenge
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.
Take part in the Winter Mini Challenge this year
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.
How to take part
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.
