On New Year's Eve, Rhys Lloyd has a house full of guests. His lakeside holiday homes are a success, and he's generously invited the village to drink champagne with their wealthy new neighbours.

๐Ÿฅ‚ โœจ ๐Ÿพ

This will be the party to end all parties.

But not everyone is there to celebrate. By midnight, Rhys will be floating dead in the freezing waters of the lake.

On New Year's Day, DC Ffion Morgan has a village full of suspects. The tiny community is her home, so the suspects are her neighbours, friends and family - and Ffion has her own secrets to protect.

With a lie uncovered at every turn, soon the question isn't who wanted Rhys dead - but who finally killed him. In a village with this many secrets, a murder is just the beginning...

Did you know that we have a 'Dementia Cafe' every Friday (excluding Bank Holidays)? This group offers a friendly welcome to those with dementia and those caring for a loved one.

The sessions are supported by our brilliant volunteers and we offer free hot drinks. Our local Aylsham Co-op are kindly supporting these sessions with sweet treats. ๐Ÿฐ

We have reminiscence kits to explore and books to borrow. The volunteers will also be able to give you information about organisations that can offer help.

Around one million people in the UK are estimated to be living with dementia.

Dementia causes changes in memory, thinking, personality and behaviour, but symptoms vary depending on which type the person has.

๐Ÿ’  We look forward to welcoming you. ๐Ÿ’

How did people send messages before phones, emails and envelopes? ๐Ÿ“œ ๐Ÿ–‹๏ธ

Journey through the history of letter writing.
Find out about Victorian cross hatching, how communication took place during war and learn about the changes in the postal system.

Spend some time exploring a range of letters on the themes of love, friendship and family, war and separation, including letters from evacuees, soldiers, children and lovers. โค๏ธ

View the letter warning Edith Cavellโ€™s family about a potential spy, look at 2 letters from Lord Nelson showing the changes in his handwriting before and after he lost his arm, and see how the letters written by Prisoner of War Geoffrey Ransome were censored before they could be sent out.

Take the opportunity to have a go at writing with a quill, create your own cross hatch letter, and learn how โ€˜lockโ€™ a letter so that only the recipient can read it.

It has been a decade since the ill-fated quiz night at Pirriwee High, where a man died and accusations of murder ran wild.

For mothers and best friends Madeline, Celeste and Jane, the fallout still feels fresh. Their children are now moody teenagers, and life remains as demanding as ever.

Madeline is busy planning her 50th birthday, unaware she's about to be upstaged.

Jane is content in her marriage to Tom - perhaps too content to notice its cracks.

Celeste, still haunted by her husband's death, fears what her formidable mother-in-law might do next.

When the school receives an anonymous package containing a severed finger, amid reports of a suspicious man near students, suspicion spreads quickly.

Is it a prank, a threat, or something far darker?

As secrets surface, the truth proves as dangerous as ever.

Dolly Parton

We are saddened to see the news that the wonderful Dolly Parton has passed away ๐Ÿ’”

Most famous for her incredible music career, Dolly also donated over 300 million books to children across the world, through her Dolly Parton's Imagination Library scheme - something we as librarians wholeheartedly endorse.

RIP Dolly, you will be missed.

๐ŸŒน

We wanted to share a special book in her honour.
