Join Story Lab at your library and get a fold-out lab with spaces for the stickers you will be given after each book you read for the Challenge.
Read six books to get a medal and certificate, and have your name put into a draw for the chance to win a prize. Each library has a special collection of books, but of course you can choose any book you like.
Pick up a colouring-in sheet or puzzle, or you can write reviews of your favourite books for everyone else to read.
And you can check out the Story Lab website when it's ready in June for quizzes, games and author blogs.
Story Lab runs from 18 June to 31 August, so make sure you get to your local library to join in the fun.
