Summer Reading Challenge Celebration

 

On Friday 20th September we held a celebration in the Arkenstall Centre for all the children who completed the Summer Reading Challenge.  We had a very full house of appreciative parents, families and friends who came to watch the children receive their medals, certificates and a book to take home.

Well done to the 39 children and one pre-schooler who completed the challenge this year, which is the highest number we have ever had. Each child read 6 books over the summer holiday and came into the library to review each book with a Library volunteer.

A big thank you to everyone who took part and all the library volunteers who listened to the children’s book reviews, organised the challenge activities and the celebration event.

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.
