ON MONDAY and Thursday evening I took part in handing out medals and certificates to Winsford children who had completed the summer reading challenge.

The awards took place at Winsford Library for Winsford children who had managed to read six books over the summer.

I just wanted to say well done to the children and congratulate the parents for encouraging their children to read books.

The enthusiasm of Winsford parents and children to rise to this challenge is admirable and this event showed just how important our wonderful library in Winsford is.
