The Club des Aventuriers du livre held special activities for the close of its 24nd season on August 17, with a show on stage attended by some 70 young “adventurers in reading” age 7 to 13, plus a series of exciting prizes for participants.
Amazing tales of imagination by Theatre Puzzle created an atmosphere that had her young audience captivated. Announcement of the prize winners took place following the show.
“There’s been a growing interest in the Club des Aventuriers du livre book club” said Deux-Montagnes head librarian and cultural director Pascal Dupuis. “I’m happy to say our 161 young adventurers read 3261 books this summer.”
During the summer season, the library also organized a number of contests to attract the attention from young people in the Deux-Montagnes area enrolled in the Club des Aventuriers. Mayor Denis Martin, who attended the event, made a point of saying, “I’m really delighted to be here for this prize ceremony and to see all the happy smiles on everyone’s faces.”
