The annual celebration of all things books, held from August 16 to 23, was marked with plenty of activities throughout the Snowy Monaro.

This masthead has further contributions of photos from other schools, following on from last week's publication of some of the region's school Book Week fun.

For Book Week this year, the theme was “Book an Adventure”.

At Snowy Mountains Christian School (SMCS), the students and staff celebrated in many ways.

A few weeks prior to the event, SMCS launched its Extreme Reading competition. The students (and staff) were invited to share a picture of themselves reading a book in an unusual location.

There were some very interesting entries, with the winners receiving a voucher for the school's annual Book Fair, run for the entire week by the librarian and parent volunteers.

Other competitions included a Book Scavenger Hunt; Guess the Bookworms (sour gummy worms) competition; and Book an Adventure Passports. Winning a prize was easy: all you had to do was read a book and enjoy its adventure.

The highlight the week was the Book Week parade. The students, parents and staff put a lot of time and effort into their costumes. there were appearances from Ghostbusters, Geronimo Stilton, Tony the Moany Groany Pony, Star Wars, Grug and even Willy Wonka.

The school thanked Cooma School for Early Learning for participating in the parade. Plus residents of Hudson House attended, who cheered the students on and enjoyed a cuppa and chat afterwards.

Other school's in the region have declared this year's Book Week a major success as the spirit of Book Week remains alive and well within schools, even after 80 years as a regular part of the school calendar and the introduction of the digital age.
