George is feeling very pleased with himself. He's just collected his Rookie and Bronze Faithful collectors cards and is well on his way to becoming a Library Legend!
If your child has started Library Legends, don't forget to pop back to the library and collect their cards and stickers.
There's still time to start the challenge, too. It's running all the way through the National Year of Reading.
