School visits - November & december 2025

 

The library hosted visits from Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 recently – 4 classes in all.  Sun and Star class came on 25 November, followed by Moon and Comet classes on 2 December.

 

All the visits followed the same format, with the children listening to Christmas stories and taking part in a craft activity.  They converted a plain green triangle into a decorative Christmas tree, using stickers and punched shapes. 

 

It was great to hear the children’s comments about preparing for Christmas, from a countdown to the big day and different types of advent calenders, to their choice of decorations and favourite colours.

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 book, also set in the 1930s, is the polar opposite of Hemingway's: 'Cold Comfort Farm' by Stella Gibbons, allegedly (according to its blurb) "probably the funniest book ever written". We'll be meeting on 19th May to discuss it. As always, everyone is welcome, and we can supply the book in advance.

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