Book club brings Dr Who to life
2:05pm Monday 28th April 2008
Comments (0)DR Who was brought alive for youngsters in Warminster at an event designed to encourage more young people to read.
Various games and quizzes, all themed around the time travelling doctor, were organised at the Garrison Book Club, based at the Land Warfare Centre in Warminster, on April 17.
More than 35 children from military families took part.
Roselyn Gabr, librarian at the LWC, said: "It was set up to help the reading development for the children in the Warminster Garrison and to encourage them to use the little library there and borrow more books.
"We are trying to increase the borrowing numbers. We are trying to attract children between the age of four and 10 to use the library service more often."
Children also played Guess the Character, made Dr Who masks and listened to stories about their favourite characters and heroes.
