The summer reading challenge is about setting yourself a reading goal, choosing books and collecting special stickers and rewards as you complete your reading list.
The challenge started in Scotland in June, and in England and Wales in July.
Northern Ireland has its own reading challenge called the Big Summer Read, which is run by Libraries NI.
However, if you haven't signed up yet, there's still time! The challenge runs all the way until the end of September.
The programme is run by the charity, The Reading Agency, and this year's theme is Read to the Beat, celebrating the connection between music and reading.
