A NEW club for children celebrating the wonderful world of books is all set to launch in Okehampton.
The club, at Okehampton Library, is for anyone under 12 who has a passion for reading and talking about books.
There will be the chance to find out about authors as well as making books while young members will enjoy access to new books and authors as well as old favourites. There will also be the chance to write book reviews and join in with discussions.
The book club will be further full of puzzles and word searches, along with regular computer sessions to find out what cartoon character M@x is up to on The Zone, Devon County Council's children's library pages.
Devon County Council's executive member for culture, Sheila Hobden, said: 'Clubs such as this are an excellent way to develop a love of reading within a child, and to encourage children to use the wide range of services on offer at Devon County Council libraries.'
The club's first meeting is on Monday, September 15 from 3.45pm to 4.45pm at Okehampton Library. The meetings will be monthly and children should be fluent, independent readers.
