School Visit 15 October 2024

 

The library was pleased to host visits from Robert Arkenstall School on Tuesday afternoon Children from Years 1 and 2 enjoyed stories and a craft activity with an autumn theme. Some of their fantastic squirrel and hedgehog pictures are shown in the photograph. It was great to hear 2 children, from separate groups, use the word ‘hibernate’ - and know what it meant!

 

The library is always please to co-operate with the school to give all the children the opportunity to visit. All these children have school/library visit cards, which are stamped every time they visit. When they have earned five stamps, the school present them with a certificate in assembly.

 

We have just over 3,000 children’s books on our shelves, and we can order others from other libraries on request. All services for children are free, with the exception of books ordered from Suffolk or Peterborogh, which incur a small charge.

 

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 is Nicola Upson's 1930s Cambridge-set 'Nine Lessons' which is the 7th in her series of mysteries featuring real-life crime writer Josephine Tey (1896–1952). All are welcome, and we will provide a copy of the book.  We will be meeting in the library to discuss it on Tuesday 17th March at 3.30pm. 

 

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