Jane Cordy, children's assistant at Exmouth Library, said: "All five have read 100 books each and have chatted to and entertained the staff with 500 plots and the characters involved.
"During this time we have seen each child grow and improve with their reading skills and confidence."

Badges are awarded at regular intervals, culminating in the award of a gold badge when the goal of 100 books has been reached.
