Robert Arkenstall Children visit Haddenham Library

 

On Thursday, October 13th, we were pleased to welcome two classes of Key Stage 1 children to the library. As the visit had already been postponed twice due to Covid regulations it was many of the children's first visit, though it was good to see a few familiar faces, including one child who is already looking forward to next year’s Reading Challenge.

During their visit the children listened to stories read by our volunteers, made superhero bookmarks and designed their own superhero costumes.  There were also stickers – much more popular with the children than the teachers!

At the end of each class visit we took the opportunity to introduce a new library/school initiative to encourage children to visit the library.  Each child will have a card to record their library visits, and when they have visited 5 times, they will receive a certificate from school.

 

Book Club

Our friendly Book Club meets on the third Tuesday of the month in the Library at 3.30pm. We welcome anyone who enjoys reading and likes
talking about books. We don't do 'lit crit' but we discuss why we like/didn't like the book choice. We exchange tips on recent reads that we think others might enjoy, and then wander on to a wide range of subjects. You don't have to buy the books – we take turns to choose a book from a Cambridgeshire Libraries multi-copy list. If you are interested in joining us, send a request to Sally via info@haddenhamlibrarycambs.co.uk or give your contact details to a Library Volunteer.

 

Upcoming read:

Next month's read ‘In a Blink of an Eye’ by Jo Callaghan will be discussed on Tuesday 18th November. All ages and genders are welcome, and anyone born after 1980 would be greatly appreciated for their new perspectives! As always, we can provide a copy of the book, so no need to buy one.

 

To join us, speak to a Library volunteer, or drop a line to info@haddenhamlibrarycambs.co.uk.
