SMS micro-stories and a treasure hunt

Hafnarfjörður Library is taking an active part in the Children's Book and Film Festival, and there's plenty going on! All week, anyone who borrows children's books can take part in a prize draw where book prizes will be won. Passers-by are encouraged to take part in writing one big story together on wrapping paper in the children's section, and participation is also open for a text message short story competition.  On Tuesday, there will be a treasure hunt around the library from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., and on Wednesday, there will be a book bingo in the multipurpose room at 5 p.m.

• Poems of young people. A national poetry writing competition for pupils in Years 4-10. Pupils submit their poems to the school library or online via the library's website. For more information, please see your school's library!
• SMS flash fiction competition. The theme of the competition is „reading“35-word micro-story sent to #6960035 by 21 February at the latest. Good prizes for 1st-3rd place.
• Lending game. Parents of children in nursery and primary school receive a discount on a new library card. Annual fee is 1,000 kr. instead of 1,900 kr. Parents are role models for their children when it comes to reading. The names of everyone who borrows a children's book or books during this period will be entered into a prize draw. A name will be drawn, and some lucky readers will receive a book prize.
• Let's write a story together. A story written with your participation on wrapping paper in the children's section of the library.
• Don't judge the book by the film. An exhibition of books and the films based on them.

As always, the library welcomes school groups from nurseries and primary schools for story time or a library tour. Bookings must be made with the library.
