Challenge accepted!

Finn, Philiana and Lavenia are excited to be part of the competition. They share what they love about Game of Loans.

Finn: I always love coming to the library for activities! [The app] was a great incentive to read! It was also easy to track what I had read. I’m going to read lots and lots of books this summer. I love reading!

Philiana: My favourite part was having a reason to come to the library and completing the quest map. I also like how you can earn badges and that you have the chance to win the awesome prizes. I love the competitiveness of the challenge as everyone wants to win the grand prize and every team wants to be the winner.

Lavenia: I liked the different teams and their cool names – you can pick which one you like – and the creativity put into the game. All different age groups can use the app. I think I can read ONE MILLION books this summer!
