✨📖 Shared Reading in Doncaster Libraries! 📖✨

Shared Reading groups are free, and for everyone. Each week we select stories and poems to read aloud together and everyone is welcome to share how the words make them feel, and their thoughts and memories. There is no pressure to talk or read aloud.

This week, we are celebrating Volunteers Week, which is designed to highlight the valuable contribution that volunteers make. We have 20 community-run libraries in Doncaster, and these libraries would quite literally not operate without the amazing volunteers!

With over 20,000 volunteer hours clocked up this year, and standing at over 300 strong, the community library volunteers are helping to make their local community a better place, and we are grateful for you all!

If you are interested in volunteering at your local library, please enquire within or find their contact information at https://library.doncaster.gov.uk/libraries

📅✨ On this day...

On this day 132 years ago, American screenwriter, activist and hard-boiled detective fiction writer Dashiell Hammett was born.

Regarded as one of the best mystery writers, Dashiell left school when he was just 13 and eventually began working for the Pinkerton National Detective Agency. He became an operative for the Pinkertons from 1915 to February 1922, with time off to serve in World War I.

In 1930, Hammett used his experience working at the Detective Agency to write his best known novel, The Maltese Falcon. The Maltese Falcon remains a significant landmark of the noir-fiction genre for the novel's development of the hard-boiled detective character archetype in Detective Sam Spade.
