Eden Cinemas teamed up with Merlin Publishers at the beginning of the scholastic year in a campaign to promote Maltese literature and literacy in schools.

School heads gathered at the Eden Cinemas, St Julian’s on January 19 to collect their prize.

Schools were awarded with vouchers of €200 or €100 to be spent on Maltese fiction books for their school libraries.

Participating schools are St Ignatius College San Sebastjan Primary School; St Theresa College Birkirkara Primary; St Nicholas’ College Attard Primary School; St Margaret College Erin Serracino Inglott Girls’ Secondary School; St Francis School Msida; St Joseph Primary school Blata il-Bajda; St Edwards Junior School and St Michael’s Junior School.

Concurrently, a creative writing competition is also being held, encouraging schoolchildren to submit a short story in Maltese for the chance of winning €100 worth of books from Merlin, along with an Eden Entertainment pack.

Entries are currently under review by the competition’s judging panel, who will be announcing a winner soon.
