AUTHOR VISITS

MEET GEORGE

At the start of the year we had a new arrival in the library - a book display in the form of a large giraffe.  This attracted much attention and the children kept on asking what the giraffe was called.  We therefore held a competition to name the giraffe and we are very pleased to announce that George was the most popular name chosen.

NEW BOOKS AND DVDS IN THE LIBRARY

In September lots of new books and DVDs and videos arrived in the library. Come and see our new fiction books and biographies as well as our latest additions about the environment and ecology, religions of the world, festivals, life cycles, plants, animals, American history etc.
