Are you the fastest texter in the Whitsundays?

Can you move your fingers across phone buttons with precision and speed? Well if you are aged between 12 and 17 you can enter the Whitsunday libraries’ text off competition which will determine who really is the texting champion.

As part of National Youth Week the local libraries are hosting some exciting events for young people in the area.

The libraries have gone above and beyond with their imagination to make this week memorable, a text off for the fastest texters in the region to be held Thursday, April 19.

The competition won’t be easy however Robyn Batman from the Proserpine Library is putting together a jumble of symbols, words and acronyms, such as LOL and B4, to really test the participants. The winner will receive a gift voucher.

Young people will also be in for a treat with the library member movie night on Friday, April 27.

Library members will see The Hunger Games screening at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre for free with RSVPs to be in by April 25.  Bus transport is available at all regular bus stops from Jubilee Pocket to Centro.

For more information on these events and more contact the local libraries.
