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.

Lunchtime library club 

Last week, our lunchtime Library Club children enjoyed some creative colouring for Elmer day. Miss Flower will be using everyone's artwork to create her new display board when we come back after half term!

Book of the Week

The Book of the Week last week was Greta and the Giants by Zoe Tucker. Greta is a little girl who lives in a beautiful forest threatened by Giants. When the Giants first came to the forest, they chopped down trees to make houses. Then they chopped down more trees and made even bigger homes. The houses grew into towns and the towns grew into cities, until now there is hardly any forest left. Greta knows she has to help the animals who live in the forest, but how? Luckily, Greta has an idea…

Chatterbooks sessions

Last week, library Chatterbooks groups continued with the funny book, Alan's Big Scary Teeth. Everyone got very creative, producing some great versions of Alan!

Broadford Library In Numbers - Summer 1 term 2026

 

Summer 1 may have been another short half term, but it was still very busy in the library, with lots of groups, activities and trips, and so many super readers enjoying the bumper range of books that the library has to offer!
 

Thank you to everyone for your continued support in making our school library a wonderful place for children to enjoy and grow their love of reading!
