<h4>&nbsp;</h4>
<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<h2>Welcome to Story Garden, the 2025 Summer Reading Challenge</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>All children aged 4-11 are welcome to join the challenge at their local library, starting 5th July.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>What is the Summer Reading Challenge?</h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Summer Reading Challenge is a free holiday activity for children. It&rsquo;s all about reading for fun and developing children&rsquo;s reading skills and confidence. The Challenge runs every year throughout the summer holidays.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>How does it work?</h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Head to your local Lewisham Library with your grown up and ask to join the Summer Reading Challenge. If you don&rsquo;t have a library card (or can't find it) don't worry, <span dir="ltr">we only need to see proof of a parent or guardian's name and address</span> to sign you up to the library.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Read six books over the summer holidays, tell us what you think about each book and collect fun rewards. You can read anything you like such as stories, illustrated books, information books, graphic novels (comics), dyslexia friendly books, poetry or audiobooks.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Who is it for?</h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whether you currently love reading or hate it, you only read comics or you prefer to <em>listen</em> to books, the Summer Reading Challenge is for you! We'll help you find the books you&rsquo;ll love.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And if you already love reading, tell us what types of books you like and we'll find more exciting reads for you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>What are the rewards?</h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When you sign up to the challenge you will receive a fun booklet with space to add your stickers and book reviews. You'll receive a sticker for each book you read as well as some exciting prizes. When you&rsquo;ve finished the challenge you'll receive a certificate, a medal and a great big 'well done' from us!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Online version of the Summer Reading Challenge</h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You can do the challenge online on the Summer Reading Challenge <a href="https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>. You could even do the library version <em>and</em> the online version. Plus you'll find quizzes, games and activities and a book sorter to help you choose your next favourite read.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Summer events and activities</h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>All of our libraries will be running fun events and activities throughout the summer which tie in with the Story Garden theme. Please see our <a href="https://lewisham.events.mylibrary.digital/" target="_blank" aria-invalid="true" rel="noopener">events site</a> for details, where you can sort events by library, type and date range.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>More information and resources</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Summer Reading Challenge theme, 'Story Garden &ndash; Adventures in Nature and the Great Outdoors' will inspire children to tap into a world of imagination by exploring the magical connection between storytelling and nature. The artwork is by award-winning illustrator, Dapo Adeola.</p>

lewisham-heritage

<h2>Lewisham Heritage holds historic materials for the borough of Lewisham and is situated in Catford Library</h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h3 style="line-height: 1.4;">We can help you to discover:</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4;">The history of the borough</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4;">The history of houses in the borough (when they were built, and who lived there)</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4;">The history of an area within the borough, for a school project or for general interest</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4;">Your family history (ancestors in Lewisham, or general information)</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4;">Local information on specific topics (for example, famous people who have lived in the borough).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Visiting the reading room</h3>
<p><br />Please contact us in advance of your visit, to check that we have the material you want to see, or for advice on your project.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To use the resources available at Lewisham Heritage, you need to <a href="https://www.archivescard.com/ARA/SignUp/ARAHUB/Create_Account.aspx?hkey=d5a25565-95c6-44d7-9327-a08aa65217f0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">register for an Archives Card</a>. You&rsquo;ll then need to <a href="https://lewisham.events.mylibrary.digital/browse-rooms?rooms=178,164" target="_blank" rel="noopener">book an appointment</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Archive material is available by appointment only.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The material we hold is in many cases irreplaceable, so it must be treated with great care. You will need to leave any large bag in a locker, and to use a pencil rather than a pen for making notes from archives.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Food and drink must not be consumed anywhere in the local history and archives centre.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>The area we cover</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The borough of Lewisham includes the ancient parishes of St Margaret, Lee and St Mary, Lewisham, also the parish of St Paul, Deptford (the ancient parish of Deptford was divided in 1730 into the parishes of St Nicholas and St Paul. The parish of St Nicholas is now in the London Borough of Greenwich).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The borough also includes the following districts: Bellingham, Beckenham (part), Blackheath (part), Brockley, Catford, Crofton Park, Downham, Forest Hill, Grove Park, Hatcham, Hither Green, Ladywell, New Cross, Southend, Sydenham.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This area was in the county of Kent until 1889 when the London County Council was formed. The exception was the Hatcham/New Cross area of Deptford, which was in Surrey.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Deptford was in the Greenwich Registration District. Lee and Lewisham were in the Lewisham Registration District.</p>
