YOUNG bookworms across Tynedale took on a reading challenge during the summer holidays.

Those who read at least six books, and visited their local library three times, received a medal and a certificate as part of the Animal Agents scheme.

The participating children were entered into a draw to win a trip to Kirkley Hall Zoo.

Eight-year-old Bea Bentley, from Haydon Bridge, was one of four children to take part in the visit.
