She has to read 6 books (which she has done through the Library's Summer Reading Challenge), learn about how to look after books, and make a bookmark (after learning what they're for).
So, This Week Eleanor Loves... Making Bookmarks!
Firstly, here's a video of Eleanor sharing why it's important to use bookmarks.
And here are the bookmarks we made!
We used this tutorial from YouTube:

But in the interests of fairness, there are loads of different tutorials on the internet and YouTube that show similar bookmarks - explore and have fun!
Eleanor: A bookmark is a thing what you put in a book, when you've finished half of a long book and you're saving the rest because you're doing something.
A: And are there any other ways of marking a page in a book that maybe you're interested in looking at later on? Would you, for example, hold the book open flat on its back, like this, on a surface?
E: No
A: You wouldn't do that? Why wouldn't you do that?
E: Because you might... one of the pages might have been like this... and it could have ripped.
A: ohh.
E: even if it was a library book
A: especially if it's a library book because other people need to read it, don't they.
E: yes
A: What about folding the corner of the page down? That'll help me find my page, won't it?
E: yeees. No!
A: Why wouldn't we do that?
E: because if we fold the book, it will be very bad because if you fold it, the page might get stuck with the other page. Even if you do two pages.
A: Will it break the page?
E: yes.
A: So, what are we going to do then to mark our books?
E:Make bookmarks!
A: Excellent, thank you.
