🎉📚 Could your family Escape the Library? 🦖🔍
Earlier this year, we worked with children from primary schools across Bolton to find out what would make libraries and reading more exciting. After listening to their ideas, we decided to bring back one of our most popular events... Escape the Library!
This special event was originally created just for the children who helped shape our plans, but we still have a few places available and we'd love to offer them to more local families.
🌙 When the library closes and the lights go out, the stories don't always stay on the shelves...
Strange noises have been heard between the bookcases, and rumours are spreading that a dinosaur has escaped from the pages of a book and is hiding in the library basement! 🦖
Can your family solve the mystery?
📖 Follow a trail of story-inspired clues
🔐 Crack the secret password
🕵️ Uncover the truth lurking beneath the shelves
Join us on Friday 13th November for an unforgettable library adventure!
To be in with a chance of getting tickets, simply comment below and tell us why your family should take part. We'll read every entry and contact successful families with full event details.
⚠️ Please note: To be eligible, children must attend a school in Bolton, or a parent must work at a school in Bolton...
Good luck... and remember, not every story stays on the page! 📚✨👀
