Reading challenge winners announced

Winners of a Midlothian Libraries prize draw have been announced.

Activities

A full events programme ran over the summer months to support children with the annual Summer Reading Challenge. Over 800 children signed up to the Challenge and joined in activities and events at their local library. 

Celebrating science

The name of this year’s challenge was 'Gadgeteers' and celebrated science and innovation, as well as the key role of imagination in both reading and the sciences. It was developed in collaboration with the Science Museum Group, to help children unleash their curiosity and creativity.

University

Libraries partnered with the University of Edinburgh to bring lots of science and engineering events into libraries.

Passport
