Quest Seekers in Galway Libraries

The 2009 Galway Libraries Summer Reading Challenge has been going since the start of July and already hundreds of children around the county are taking part. This years it is all about embarking on a fantastical adventure and become a Quest Seeker.
The theme is all about the power of the imagination. It will take young readers into a mysterious and wondrous land where they can discover the joy of reading and nurture a life-long love affair with books. It also promotes the library as a place of wonder and excitement, where librarians can offer children invaluable advice and guidance to help them through their quest.
Quest Seekers highlights the wealth of fantasy writing for children available right now, but it also embraces all kinds of books. It’s an imaginative and fun way to encourage children to read.
The Summer Reading Challenge is an interactive experience that children love to take part in over the holidays. It gets them into libraries and gives them the confidence they need to choose their own books and take their reading to the next stage. For many children, the Summer Reading Challenge is just the incentive they need to turn them into readers for life.
