It's time for the monthly look at the events, new book releases and library news for this coming July. This month, with the school holidays fast approaching, there is a lot on for children.

Children's Summer Reading Challenge: The Challenge this year is centred on the Guinness Book of World Records and Pembrokeshire libraries are hoping to have a record amount of children taking part! It's great fun and open to children aged between four and 11-years-old. The Challenge is run in all Pembrokeshire libraries, it is completely free and it's a great way to keep reading over the long summer holiday. Children have to read six books (three visits to the library) to be awarded a certificate and a medal. When enrolled, your child will be given some fun materials, including a sticker pack to get them started on the Challenge. If you or the children aren't members of the library, it's easy to join up - just bring some ID with your address on and you can start borrowing right away.

Summer Reading Challenge Stories and Crafts Session: Tenby Library hold a weekly stories and craft session every Friday throughout the school summer holidays from 11 – 12, starting on July 31. It is free to attend, but numbers are limited and booking is essential. Places can be reserved by ringing on the Friday morning of the event from 9 o'clock.
