Springwatch

I have been caught up in all the drama that is happening with the birds and animals in this year's BBC programme 'Spring Watch'. If you are enjoying it too and want to find out more about British wildlife there are books on display that will be of interest. There are books about: blackbirds, ducks, otters, squirrels and more. Come to the Library and see what you can learn.

Book of the week - 11th June

This week's Book of the week is 'Daylight saving' by Edward Hogan. Daniel is overweight and hates sport so when his father tells him thay are spending a week togather at the Leisure World Holiday Complex Daniel is not impressed! They arrive at the complex and Daniel sees a girl in the path of the buggy taking them to their cabin. Daniel grabs the steering wheel and diverts it, but the girl is nowhere to be seen. Daniel sees her later swimming in the lake. Her name is Lexi and she is smart and funny but rather secretive. Then, Daniel realises that each time they meet Lexi's bruises seem worse and her watch appears to be going backwards. The pair are being stalked by a mysterious figure and, as the end of British Summer Time looms Daniel discovers he has to act quickly - to save their souls! An excellent read!
Tag line from the book jacket "Can you save someone from something that's already happened?"

Shelf Display for June

The first half of June is a bit green. The display shelves in the fiction section of the Library feature fiction books with green covers! Simple but effective, adds a spring-like effect to the Library. Why not come and see if you agree!

FlipSide

The new issue of FlipSide is now available in the Library. As usual it is packed full of interesting articles, fascinating facts and stunning pictures. One of the main articles is about shark attacks, something which both fascinates and horrifies at the same time. You will find this month's issues on the issue desk.

Book of the week - 3rd June

'Shiverton Hall' by Emerald Fennell is the book of the week this week. Shiverton Hall is a school with a distinctly creepy history but when Arthur Bannister is unexpectedly offered a place with all expenses paid he has no option but to accept  - to the delight of his parents. Although many of the students are friendly there are some who are most certainly not! As for the Headmistress it seems to be her mission in life to make Arthur's time at the school as miserable as possible. Add to that the ghosts and the Shiverton curse and you have the makings of a very eerie story.
