Summer Stars 2022
In library branches throughout the county
Join the reading adventure at your library! Be part of the Summer Stars Reading Adventure and discover the joy of reading for pleasure. We want every child in Clare to read as many books as they can during the summer holidays.
Sign up at any of our libraries and you will get your own Summer Stars Reading Card to keep track of your progress. Every time you show us your progress we will give you a reward. Everyone that takes part will get an official Summer Stars Certificate in September.
You can read books borrowed from our libraries or from our e-Books and e-Audiobooks app BorrowBox. It’s all free, and all you need is a library card!
We will also have lots of FREE fun activities in our libraries and on our social media channels all summer long. There will be storytimes, book clubs, craft sessions and workshops.

Visit Summer Stars 2022 for details of events in each library branch.
