Just in time for our summer reading challenge, our latest batch of new children’s books has now arrived on the shelves. Here are just a few of the new titles.
Remember you can browse our entire yellow sticker catalogue at https://greenhill.salcirc.org
We’re pleased to be taking part once again in this year’s reading challenge, from The Reading Agency. Targeted at 4-11 year olds, the theme for this year’s challenge is “Space Chase”. To complete the challenge all you have to do is read 6 books over the summer holidays. They can be any books, but they must be borrowed from the library. There are rewards for each book finished and a certificate if you complete the whole challenge. You’ll need to register (it’s free) and registration opens on 13 July (a week earlier than in our printed newsletter)
Dressing up is strongly encouraged. Prize for the best.
Please be on your best behaviour, as you’re likely to meet Professors McGonegall, Snape and Dumbledore.
We are delighted to welcome back our local, best-selling author, Gavin Extence. Come along and enjoy an informal evening, when Gavin will be telling us about his latest book, “The End of Time”. Set against the background of the 2015 migrant crisis, the novel tells the story of two teenage refugees, brothers, who are travelling across Europe to the UK. This is a free event – just turn up!
We’re pleased to announce that, following user feedback in our recent survey, we’ll be extending our Saturday opening by one hour, and will now be closing at 1.30pm. We’ll be trialling this for a period of three months starting on 15 June.
That’s a whole extra hour to browse our books, choose something from our bookshop, use our computers, get your hearing aid batteries, or just sit and read.
Lynn Munro runs a Knit and Natter group in the library on the first and third Wednesday of each month from 10.00 to 12.00. Experienced knitters and beginners welcome. We can provide needles and wool if you don’t have them.
For more information email Lynn at lynnimunro@googlemail.com
Are you confused by computers? Do you need help with filling in online forms? Or would you just like to get more out of your laptop, tablet or smartphone?
Heeley Trust run support sessions in the library every Friday morning. No need to book — just turn up. Bring your own laptop or tablet, or use the computers in the library.
Come and join us every Friday morning from 10 – 11.30 for a cup of coffee or tea, a biscuit, and most important, a friendly chat. You never know who you’ll meet — and all for 50p!
