CHILDREN in Middlesbrough are being challenged to hunt for a golden ticket and win a day of fun at their local library.

The five tickets are hidden in books at Abingdon, Berwick Hills, Easterside, North Ormesby and Thorntree branch libraries.

Youngsters aged eight to 11 can find clues as to where they might be by looking at a list of the top ten children's authors, on display in each library.

Those who find the winning tickets will get to spend a day with staff at the library during half-term, hosting a storytelling session, helping choose new books, making sweets and enjoying a McDonald's lunch.
