Quest Seekers
Each year Shropshire Libraries joins in with a national summer reading challenge for young people, organised by The Reading Agency. This year, young readers across Shropshire were invited to take a leap into the mystical world of dragons and fairies.The 2,332 children who started the Quest were challenged to read six books over the summer - in total more than 8,000 books were read by those who accepted the challenge.
Over 1,000 children all over Shropshire took part in more than 100 activities including Quest Seekers parties, town trails, music and storytelling events provided by Arts Alive and The Hive, and special appearances by poets and authors.
The 1,182 children who succeeded were rewarded with a certificate and a gold medal. Special medal ceremonies were held at various libraries. Congratulations to everyone who took part in the challenge!
Look out for next year's summer reading challenge. The theme will be an intergalactic journey.
