The inaugural Hinchinbrook Shire Library Trivia Night, which featured a Lord of the Rings theme, was attended by approximately 70 locals who competed fiercely for the Lord of the Rings Trivia crown. Quiz topics included Movies and Books; Children's Movies and Books; a Soundbyte Quiz  and of course Lord of the Rings. Some dressed in the Lord of the Rings theme for the night and others just came for a fun night out with friends. Wonderful comments have been received following the evenings success and we thank all who attended and helped in any way. See below for images from the night....

The Winners

The Wooden-Spooners - still smiling

The Hinchinbrook Shire Library “Dive Into a Book” Readathon finished with the presentation of certificates and prizes on Friday 23rd January at the Library. This year 90 participants entered the Readathon and everyone received a certificate. Prizes were given out to winners of the Illustrate a Story “Puppies In Space” Competition and for readers in age groups. The more books each reader read the more times their name went into the prize draw for their age group. Congratulations to everyone who received a certificate and prize!
