Cllr Gill Heath, libraries chief at Staffordshire County Council said:

> “Summer is a great time for a good read, and we all love to share our opinions on a good or bad book.  
>  
> “With our libraries now starting to reopen following lockdown, taking part in our challenge is a great opportunity to get adults reading more and to try doing their own book review.”
