Library staff training: character guide – Ready, Set, Read!

Meet our superstar team and their marvellous mascots in this comprehensive guide!

This guide has been created in collaboration with the Youth Sport Trust. It contains contextual information for library staff to help you link new and existing library activities to this year’s theme and characters. The detailed information about each of the characters may also help staff facilitate conversations with children about the core pack story, and suggest particular books/genres from this year’s official Book Collection.

  • This is a locked resource for library authorities participating in the Summer Reading Challenge 2023. Libraries should contact their local Summer Reading Challenge coordinator(s) for access.*
