The event coincides with Middlesbrough Mela taking place in Centre Square so there will also be lots of entertainment and fabulous food.
Children can join the Summer Reading Challenge, aimed at those aged four to 11, at any Middlesbrough library from Saturday, July 15 – to complete the challenge they need to read six library books during the summer holidays.
They will receive incentives along the way and everyone who completes the challenge will receive a certificate and medal.
