THE first child to complete the Big Friendly Read at Okehampton Library was Eva Tucker, who was presented with a book with a 3D model to build a chocolate factory.

The Big Friendly Read is this year’s summer reading challenge for children to read six books over the summer holidays.

Every child that completes the challenge will receive a certificate and medal but also at Okehampton Library there are more than 70 prizes that will be randomly presented throughout the summer. These prizes have been purchased from money provided by The Friends of Okehampton Library. It is free to take part in the challenge which runs until September 10.
