The Carnegie Quiz took place today with over 80 keen readers from all six secondary schools in Abingdon. In this annual event leading up to our Abingdon Carnegie Forum in the Guildhall next month, a dozen teams collaborated to answer 10 questions on each of the books on the shortlist. The most difficult thing was planning to ensure each team had a balance of readers who had between them read all the titles, and a mix of schools. The questions were tricky, but the winning team scored a magnificent 67 out of 80, with other teams close behind. Each of the Librarians also chose one of their shadowers for a deserving surprise prize, ranging from most competent reviewer to most enthusiastic and first to read and review all eight books.
OLA shadowers have posted over 90 reviews on the Carnegie website, do take a look at them here.
