EVERYONE enjoyed the author event with Cat Barker at Crediton Library on Friday, August 4.

Cat read from her book “Egypt’s Best Embalmer”.

After the story the children had lots of fun taking part in the wrap the mummy race, even wrapping Cat and Crediton Library First Assistant Beth in lots of toilet roll.

They then made crocodiles out of card and coloured in crocodile pictures.

The event is part of the library’s Summer Reading Challenge “Ready, Set, Read!” programme of activities.

The Reading Agency devises a new challenge each year.

Children can pick up their free pack from the library and collect stickers for the books they read.

When they have read six books they receive a medal and certificate and are entered into the prize draw.

Thanks to the many organisations and businesses that have provided prizes. Locally, these include Crediton Tesco, Crediton Morrisons, Bernaville Nurseries, The Bookery, Paint Pots of Devon, Lords Meadow Leisure Centre, Mel’s Diner, Adams Home Hardware and Creedy Kitchen.
