Pint sized bookworms proved they are potty about books when they completed this year’s Summer Reading Challenge in their hundreds.
The challenge – to read six or more books during the summer holidays – was accomplished by 1,457 children who signed up at one of the borough’s libraries.
They collected certificates and medals during a celebration at Wood Green Library last week.
The theme of this year’s reading challenge was ‘Record Breakers’ and children learned all about people and groups that have made the record books with awe-inspiring achievements.
Haringey Council cabinet member for resources and culture Cllr Jason Arthur said:
“It was great to see so many children sign up for the reading challenge at their local library and take part with such enthusiasm.
The challenge is just one of several activities on offer at our fantastic libraries aimed at capturing children’s imaginations and ensuring they have lots of opportunities to get stuck into a good book.”
