Summer Stars Reading Programme

What to Expect

Summer Stars is the free national reading programme encouraging children to keep reading for fun over the summer holidays. The 12-week programme (2 June - 31 August) includes in-person and online story-times and fun events at participating libraries across Limerick. Children receive a reading card to track their progress, and all participants receive a certificate of achievement at the end of summer.
