It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s National Library day and I have blogged previously here<\/a> & here<\/a> exactly how important libraries are to me and my family.<\/p>\n

Here are our library<\/a> highlights of the year:<\/p>\n

This was Freya’s first year to try the summer reading challenge & she loved it, getting the stickers and having a chart just like her big brother was great fun.  <\/p>\n

Freya’s current favourite library read is the Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywelt & Oliver Jeffers and is one she is struggling to return. She is also a fan of the Rainbow Magic Fairy series and I am very glad the library is able to support this habit.<\/p>\n

The library’s regular code club is a highlight of Bryns week, an uninterupted hour on the computer with a new scratch project each week, what’s not to like. He has also joined the children’s book group & looking forward to today’s Harry Potter themed event.<\/p>\n

My 2015 new years resolution was  to read more graphic novels so was happy to discover a few new favourites in the library collection including El Deafo by Cece Bell. <\/p>\n

The ebook service is proving to be invaluable especially when we are away for the weekend & I have forgotten to pack bedtime stories. <\/p>\n

Over the summer my nieces recomended the Ascendance Trilogy, having discovered the first one as an ebook I recommended the library purchase books 2&3. A speedy response meant I was able to race through this exciting trilogy, perfect holiday read.<\/p>\n

Having only just discovered the Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch we were really pleased the library had the whole back catalogue, we are now caught up & waiting for the next one.<\/p>\n

At Christmas cookery books from the library proved an inspiration for Bryn who cooked macarons (with a little help from his Dad) as a Christmas present for me.<\/p>\n

We are very grateful for our library service and would be lost without it.<\/p>\n
