The Reading Agency and Inverclyde Libraries are excited to introduce
Wild World Heroes, Summer Reading Challenge 2021; 19th June – 28th August
This year, the Challenge takes place in Wilderville, where our young heroes live.

Helped by their trusted animal companions, they’re ready to take action to save the natural world.
This year’s themes are:

- Action for the Environment
- Fun with Friends
- Young Heroes
- Adventure
It’s so easy to take part!
