DORSET County Council’s library service has scooped an award for its efforts in encouraging adults to read.
The bronze award was presented to the council at the Reading Agency Six Book Challenge awards ceremony in London by author Adele Parks. It recognised the library service’s scheme which asks adults to pick six reads and record their reading in a diary to get a certificate. It is designed to engage those who struggle with the written word but is also used to get people into an enjoyment of reading.
Cllr Hilary Cox, cabinet member for community services, said: “I am thrilled that our library staff have been rewarded.”
