Barnet Book Detectives

Barnet’s brand-new summer read has finished

Thank you to all the children who took part in Barnet Book Detectives! 

This summer, we introduced ‘Barnet Book Detectives’, a great way to keep children reading over the summer holidays.

Something strange is happening around Barnet. Books are disappearing and a mysterious Book Crook is on the loose. They love to read but want all the books for themselves and won’t share! Join the ‘Barnet Book Detectives’ and help Detective Woof pick up the scent.

Children aged 4 to 11 across Barnet read thousands of books over the summer; helping the Book Detectives catch the mysterious 'Book Crook' by uncovering clues and earning rewards for completing all 6 books.

All completers earned a certificate, a special badge and sticker revealing the identity of the 'Book Crook'. 

Prize draw Prizes

All completers will be entered into a prize draw with a chance to win some fantastic prizes, including a tablet, family theatre tickets, Pokemon prizes, RAF museum goodies, days out and more! Each completer will be allocated a number and the winners selected at random.

The prize will be taking place very soon and the winners will be notified by email.
