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 helping Miss Flower create a wonderful Spring into Reading display for the wall, using handprints to make flowers. Each child wrote on their handprint something reading-themed, such as what they love about reading, their favourite book or character.
Book of the Week
The Book of the Week last week was The Lighthouse Keeper's Mystery by Ronda & David Armitage. After a clean-up at the lighthouse, Mr Grinling is worried: it seems that someone is dumping rubbish into the sea! His great-nephew, George, thinks it might be the work of pirates. But could the culprit be closer to home?
Chatterbooks sessions
Last week, new library Chatterbooks groups had lots of fun reading and acting out the Julia Donaldson classic, What the Ladybird Heard. All groups got 10/10 for their questions about the story. Great work everyone!
Spinebreakers
Last Thursday, the Year 4 Spinebreakers enjoyed a fun trip to Harold Hill Library. You can read more about it here
We will be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 5th March 2026. You can read more details here

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.
