Welcome to the Broadford Library Weekly Newsletter!
Each week, we 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!

Library displays
October is Black History Month and to celebrate it, we have a lovely display of books and challenges for the children to take part in.
Thursday 3rd October was National Poetry Day - we have a lovely selection of poetry books and rhymes for all ages in the library.
New in the Library
Last week, all of the wonderful new books we were able to get from the Book Fair were put on display in the library for children to borrow. They proved very popular straight away, with lots of happy children coming to choose their favourites!
Visitors to the library
Last week, our new Chatterbooks library sessions continued with the same group of children from the previous week. They had the opportunity to complete some fun activities linked to the stories we read - The Scarecrows' Wedding for KS1 and Man on the Moon for KS2. This week, we will be selecting some new children to enjoy their two Chatterbooks library sessions. I wonder who will be picked next?!

Urgent request - Returning borrowed library books
We have had lots of lovely new books added to the library collection over the past couple of months but, unfortunately, many of them have been borrowed by children and 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.
