A quiz will be launched place in libraries across Blackburn with Darwen next week as part of the Council’s St George’s day celebrations and prizes, donated by Encyclopaedia Britannica, will be up for grabs.
People wanting to take part in the quiz can go to any library between St George’s Day, April 23 and Sunday May 17, and the easy bit is, they will find answers to all the questions online. Log on to Britannica Online at any library PC or take part in the quiz at home by typing in your Blackburn with Darwen library card number.
Councillor Michael Law-Riding, executive member for leisure and culture said: “Encyclopaedia Britannica is the oldest continuously published reference work in the English language and the printed version has always been a firm favourite.
“Now, as with many other reference books, it’s available in a much-expanded online version. And it isn’t often you can take part in a quiz and have the answers to hand before you giving in your entry!”
Britannica Online has been available at all libraries across Blackburn with Darwen for several years but it’s hoped this quiz will encourage new users to try it out.
All correct entries will be eligible to take part in the prize draw and winners will be notified by telephone shortly after the closing date on Sunday May 17.
Prizes include:
Britannica visual dictionary for children
Britannica almanac 2009
The human body CD-Rom
3D globe DVD-Rom
Entry forms are available at all libraries and also online at www.blackburn.gov.uk/libraries.
