Libraries across St Albans District will be holding events including special competitions for library users this month to celebrate National Libraries Day.

On Saturday, February 8 anyone who borrows a book will be entered into a prize draw to win one of three Nook Simple Touch e-readers for the culmination of a week’s worth of celebrations in schools, colleges, universities, workplaces and public libraries across the UK.

As well as the prize draw, library users can also take part in a quiz in which they will have to match a quote about libraries to a well-known person. The winner of this quiz will win a Nook Simple Touch e-reader.

St Albans Library will be running a free treasure hunt from 9am to 4pm on February 8. A story and craft session for children aged between 3 and 6- years-old will also take place in Harpenden library at 11am.
