Library news

It’s that time again, can’t believe it has come around so fast.  All the Christmas books are now out in the children’s area and waiting for eager young eyes to devour them.   The ECRead Summer Reading Programme has started and is almost full already, so do pop down and enrol the children if you haven’t already done so.  Remember all those yummy prizes waiting for them.  
Janet is sailing into reading and will be sitting in her rowboat in the courtyard pretending she is on an exotic island paradise.   Our Book Babies sessions have wound up for the year now.  We ended in style with Santa Paws bringing presents on a sleigh.  Santa Paws being Millie of the medium size, shaggy coat, canine variety.  She was well loved by the children as you can imagine. 

Now a timely reminder that we are closed between Christmas and New Year, do stock up on books, audio books, magazines and DVDs.  We can give you longer borrowing times if you are going away, just ask and we will endeavour to do our very best for you. 
The Christmas titles have been starting to come out in the shops and if you see anything you do like, then ask and I shall try and get it for you.  Of course, if you do require the latest Jack Reacher (Night school), then please get your name down as soon as you can.  Lee Child must be one of the most popular authors ever. 
We are very lucky to have received a grant from the Cochrane Trust for talking books – thank you so much for that.  It is a real relief for those older people who have lost or losing their sight to be able to listen to a book so I shall be choosing very carefully what I spend the $2,000 on.  
So from all the jolly staff at Martinborough Library we wish you a lovely Christmas.
