Summer Reading Adventure: Announcing our Grand Prize Winners
The Summer Reading Adventure is over for another year and now it's time to announce the winners of our twelve Grand Prize Packs!
The Summer Reading Adventure ended last month, and now we have a plethora of prizewinners to announce!
The Grand Prizes for individual Adventurers are divided into three age groups: one for tamariki (ages 5-13); one for taiohi (ages 13-18); and one for Pākeke (ages 16+). As our Adventurers took part in the Adventure, they earned tickets to put towards one of our Grand Prize Draws. Adventurers were able to choose which of the Grand Prize Packs they put their tickets towards, so we know for sure that each prizewinner really wanted that specific prize!
The last prize is for those Adventurers of all ages who preferred to do their Adventuring on paper and took part in our Library Bingo over the summer. Completing a line on a Library Bingo sheet earned a special badge, but those dedicated people who completed the whole sheet were added into the draw for the Library Bingo Grand Prize!
Thank you to everyone who took part in the Summer Reading Adventure, a big thank you to all our prize sponsors, and congratulations to all our Grand Prize winners!
