GLL runs the Lincolnshire Library Service in partnership with Lincolnshire County Council.

Karen Waring, for GLL, said: “Our scavenger and treasure hunts are becoming quite legendary at Louth Library.

"It’s great to see so many children taking part in our book based activities that help them to recognise well-known literary characters and test their knowledge of books too.

"It also enhances their problem solving skills.

"Watch out in the next half term for another exciting hunt.”
