Bottisham Community Library
New book stock in November
November saw the first of the monthly exchanges of book stock by the Cambridgeshire Library, so we should have 100 new books in by the time this is printed. Even if you couldn't find anything you wanted to borrow before, you should be able to now! We have had many positive comments about the excellent up-to-date stock of fiction - if you haven't yet visited us, please do come and have a look.
Thank you for donations
Many thanks to everyone for all the wonderful donations received. We have included as many of them as possible in the library. Our book sale in September raised over £400 pounds, which we will spend on new stock. We still have several boxes of books left to process, so we don't need any more books at the moment, but we would be very happy to take audiocassettes or videos to build up our collection. Perhaps you might have children's videos or storytapes that have been outgrown? We will have another book appeal next year.
Christmas storytelling for children
There will be Christmas story-telling on Saturday Dec 6th at 10.30 in the library for children of primary school age. All welcome. If children are interested in joining the art group to help make decorations and prepare for Christmas, please contact Julie Bristow.
Canterbury Tales for adults
There will be an adult story telling evening of the Canterbury Tales with a glass of wine on Tuesday Jan 13th at 7.30 pm in the library. Please note that in view of the adult content of the Canterbury Tales, admission will be restricted to those 16 and older. For more details, or to reserve a place, please contact Gerry Lockett.
Tell us what you want!
Please let us know what you would like to see in the library. After Christmas we will be buying some new stock. We want to spend our money wisely, so we really would like to buy what you want to read. There will be a suggestions box in the library for your wish list. Tell us if there is a particular category of book you would like to see, or tell us about individual titles. Are you interested in borrowing audiocassettes? If so what sort of titles? Do you want a video or DVD collection? Please tell us.
