Once the fanfare of Christmas is over, the children will be begging for something to do.
Our school holiday program is organised and waiting to be booked. We’ve got the usual storytime sessions, craft such as melty beads, cardboard monsters, stickle puffs, friendship bracelets, and the new addition of Music with Meg on Wednesdays. You can view the entire range of school holiday activities on our Facebook page.

Lonely Planet has just released Dream Trips of the World (910 DRE).
Whether you’ve always wished of watching whales breach off Baja in Mexico or yearned for a road trip through Australia’s Red Centre, this jam-packed guide to some of our planet’s ultimate travel experiences provides all of the inspiration and information you’ll need to get you where you want to go.
Fresh to general fiction is You are Here by David Nicholls.
Marnie is stuck. Stuck working alone in her London flat, stuck battling the long afternoons and a life that often feels like it’s passing her by. Michael is coming undone. Reeling from his wife’s departure, increasingly reclusive, taking himself on long, solitary walks across the moors and fells.
When a persistent mutual friend and some very English weather conspire to bring them together, Marnie and Michael suddenly find themselves alone on the most epic of walks and on the precipice of a new friendship. But can they survive the journey?
The Food Book by DK (641 FOO) is new to our cooking section.
Discover the origins, traditions, and use of the everyday foods served up on our plates, from salt to sushi and rice to ravioli. A true celebration of food in all its forms, The Food Book follows the human quest for sustenance through the stories of individual ingredients, and examines our millennia-long relationship with nearly 200 foods – from nuts and seeds to noodles and meat – with the help of sumptuous illustrations, and tales from all over the world.
Merry Christmas from your local library team!
