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:

Our next book is 'The Miniaturist' by Jessie Burton. Set in Amsterdam in 1686–87, it was inspired by Petronella Oortman's doll's house on display at the Rijksmuseum (pictured). We will be meeting in the library to discuss it on Tuesday 17th February at 3.30pm. Do let us know if you'd like to join us - we will provide a copy of the book.

 

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