Where Stories Stay with Lindsey Gibb

As part of this year’s Summer Reading Challenge theme, ‘Read to the Beat’, join storyteller Lindsey Gibb for a storytelling event at the AK Bell Library to celebrate the start of this year’s challenge.

Step into a place where shelves whisper, pages glow, and every book is a doorway. Where Stories Stay is a warm, playful storytelling session for families, celebrating libraries as magical homes of books, memories, and shared adventures. Suitable for primary school-aged children and families. Under 8s should be supervised by an accompanying adult.

Book your spot at the AK Bell Library.

Summer Reading Challenge 2026
The 2026 Summer Reading Challenge, “Read to the Beat!”, is a free programme for children aged 4–11. It invites children to read six books during the summer holidays, with a fun theme around music, sound, and stories. Families can sign up at any Culture Perth & Kinross library. Children will receive a challenge pack, collect stickers as they go, and earn a certificate and medal when they finish.
The challenge supports children to keep reading over the summer and feel confident and ready for the new school year.
