It was a very close competition and I am happy to announce that the winning name was Craftalicious Artinoon! Well done to Alexandra who came up with this very clever name! Alexandra received a Bookalicious backpack and a $30 gift voucher for Borders.

Children's Book Week 2010

This year, the theme for Children's Book Week is 'Across the Story Bridge'. Book Week runs from Saturday 21 August to Friday 27 August.

To celebrate, we have some colouring-in sheets and a find-a-word puzzle for you to collect at the front desk of HJ Daley Library. All the Book Week books are currently display only, but we are more than happy to put a reserve on any book you want for when Book Week is over!

We have also put up some displays around HJ Daley library and the branch libraries. If you missed them, check out the photos below:
