Tamworth Library is offering readers over the age of 16  the oppotunity of winning fantastic prizes during Staffordshire County Councils Winter Reading Challenge.

The competition will be launched on Saturday December 12 with a special coffee morning.

Those taking part in the challenge will be challenged to read five books of their choice.  To enter the competition, they will then have to fill an entry form and write a short review of the books they have read.  All participants will then be entered into a prize draw to win lots of free books and a years subscription to New Books Magazine.

The closing date for all entries will be Friday February 12 2010.

Cabinet Member for Communities and Culture, Ben Adams said:

“This is a great opportunity for Staffordshire residents to share their enthusiasm for books while giving them the chance to win some wonderful prizes.”
