Guitar hero show down held at Croydon Youth Centre EVs a success

On Friday the 8th October Eastern Regional Libraries (ERL) Youth Services Librarians co-ran a guitar hero game competition entitled Guitar hero show down with the Youth Services team of Maroondah City Council, held at EV's, the local youth centre in Croydon.

The competition was fierce and the guitar skills were masterly, after a sudden death round involving the remaining three survivors a victor was clear and a prize ceremony followed, bestowing iTunes vouchers, movie tickets from the local cinema and epic amounts of fame and glory to boot. Fun was had by all, with mighty competitors and cheering groupies all sharing pizza and laughs after the competition.

A big thanks to the friendly Youth Services staff of Maroondah City Council for supplying a worthy venue and much needed equipment. An equally big thankyou to ERL Youth Services Managers Janet and Lorraine for their much needed support.

Such events promote library awareness, local teenage outreach and valued networking opportunities between ERL and Maroondah city council. stay tuned for you next exciting adventure in library outreach @ ERL
