School Visit - 3rd December 2024

 

It was the turn of Sun and Star classes to visit the library this time.  This included all the new Reception children, and it was gratifying to see that a lot of them had visited the library before, either with their families or with Haddenham Pre-School.  One of the first time visitors said, as they were preparing to leave, that he was going to come back.  By the look on his face, he liked what he found in our library.

 

The children enjoyed Christmas stories read by our volunteers, and decorated some Christmas stockings to take home with them,  They had fun choosing stars and snowmen to glue on, but the stickers were definitely more popular.

 

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.
