National Libraries Day - 8th February 2014

The Learning and Skills Centre ran a competition recently to celebrate National Libraries Day.

Congratulations to Maryam Safari for her entry for 'What do you think libraries will look like in the future?'

'In my opinion, all libraries in the future should concentrate on individual techniques to help people step-by-step to improve the quality of reading instead of quantity of study.'

The Learning and Skills Centre are taking part in a reading incentive by 'The Reading Agency'.

The Six Book reading challenge is open to anyone who feels they would like to read more.

It can be anything, a book, magazine, newspaper, poem or websites.

Just pop in to the Learning and Skills Centre to register. You will be given a diary to keep a log of what you read, a bookmark and a pen.

 

When you have completed the challenge you will receive a USB band

 

 

 



You will also have your name entered in to a national competition:

1st Prize is a trip to London for 2

 

 

3 Runner up prizes of a Kobo ereader

 

 



Readers can also go to 'The Reading Agency' website to get help with choosing what to read next, leave a review about something you've read, recommend something to read or just talk to other readers about books.

Happy Reading
