Summer Reading Challenge Midway Through!

 

This year’s Summer Reading Challenge, Marvellous Makers, is all about creativity.  


This summer 46 children have signed up, and are now progressing well towards their goal of 6 books. Our child-friendly volunteers discuss each book with individual children (plus accompanying parents or grandparents – it’s quite a sociable time), and the children receive a sticker for their collector’s poster every time they complete a book.  

 

Children who complete the challenge will be invited to a special ceremony in September to receive their medals and certificates.

 

Along with other young visitors, they have also been involved in various craft activities and trying things out on our ‘Have a go’ table.  Shown here are pom pom making, pipe cleaner craft and 3D model dragon craft.  Also featured are books, fiction and non fiction, that fit the creative theme. 

 

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:

Our next book will be ‘Never Let Me Go’ (2005), a sci-fi novel by Kazuo Ishiguro. Please just get in touch in advance if you'd like to join us on 21 May.

 

To join us, speak to a Library volunteer, or drop a line to info@haddenhamlibrarycambs.co.uk. We can even provide you with a copy of the book.
