Christopher is a gold medal winner at reading Books!

Local bookworm Christopher Sparks is overjoyed at completing his 100th book to earn a Booktrack certificate and gold badge.

Nine-year-old Christopher, who completed his challenge at Exeter's St Thomas Library in Church Road, enjoys reading all kinds of books. He was presented with his certificate and gold badge by Library Supervisor Lee Rawlings. He said: "Christopher is a fantastic reader and has told the staff all about the 100 books over the course of his challenge, well done Christopher!"

Devon County Council's library services operate Booktrack as a leisure time reading activity for children aged 6 and over. Badges are awarded at regular intervals along the "track", culminating in the award of a gold badge when the goal of 100 books has been reached.
