Now in its fourteenth year, the Challenge is for every child aged 4-11 years to read six books of their choice from their local library during the summer holidays. Children earn stickers along the way and will be given a certificate or medal on completion.
Following the handover, Caroline said:
"I fully support this wonderful campaign. As a mother of two voracious readers, I know how important it is for children to not only have access to books, but also actively encourage them to read them.
Our libraries are a valuable asset and I hope parents and carers across the Gosport peninsula will take their children to their local library this summer to sign up for this rewarding scheme."
Over 20 popular children's authors are supporting the campaign including children's laureate Julia Donaldson and fellow award-winning writers Malorie Blackman, Charlie Higson, Anthony Horowitz, Michael Morpurgo, Michael Rosen and Jacqueline Wilson.
