Welcome to the Broadford Library Weekly Newsletter!
Each week, I will be bringing you a look back on the previous week in the library, including the fun that our lunchtime library clubs have had, new books, children's book reviews, library displays and much more!

Lunchtime library club
Last week, our lunchtime Library Club children enjoyed some lovely festive colouring sheets.
Book of the Week
The Book of the Week last week was The Great Reindeer Rescue by Stephen Mangan. It is the night before Christmas, and Dave - the newest reindeer recruit to Santa's sleigh team - is desperate to do a good job. But an emergency landing on the roof of Holly's house results in the other reindeer, Santa and Holly's dad being blasted to far-flung corners of the world! Can Holly and Dave avert disaster and save Christmas?!
Festive fun in the library
Last week in the library saw the final lot of festive fun before the Christmas holidays. Lots more Christmas, festive and winter-themed books were borrowed by children, and by staff to read aloud to their classes. Children also enjoyed taking part in the final Reading Advent Calendar challenges. You can read more about the festive fun here.
Non-fiction delivery
Eddy and Evie, two of the library's super Spinebreakers, delivered another pack of requested non-fiction books to a class - these are on the topics that the class will be studying after Christmas and will be displayed in their reading corner for children to enjoy.

Urgent request - Returning borrowed library books
We have so many lovely books in our library but, unfortunately, many of them get borrowed by a child and then never returned to the library. Please can you check at home to see if you have any Broadford library books (stamped inside/Broadford logo attached). If you do, please pass them to your child to return to the library asap, where our Book Monster is waiting to eat them! Thank you.
