This month's book related question is- Who did you read with as a child? Would you read with a teacher, parent, grandparent or sibling? What types of books do you remember reading together?

Sarah: At home I mostly remember reading with my dad along with my brother and sister. As we got older I remember him reading books such as The Hobbit and lots of Roald Dahl books to us. My love of reading definitely came from being read to from a very early age and having books read to us each evening (a routine I have very much continued with my own children).
At school I remember a teacher reading the class The Iron Man by Ted Hughes in Year 6.

Caroline: My Father and I would read most bedtimes, books such as W***y the kid by Leo Baxendale and My naughty little sister by Dorothy Edwards.
When I was in year 8 at high school ,we read the Hobbit as a class.

We are saddened to see the news that the wonderful Dolly Parton has passed away 💔

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

RIP Dolly, you will be missed.

The Summer Reading Challenge runs until 12th September!

If you're looking for a FREE activity for the next couple of weeks, there's still time to take part!

How It Works:
🎵 Sign up at the library during staffed hours - you’ll receive a special Read To The Beat collector’s booklet and a Storytime magazine.
🎵 Choose your books – storybooks, fact books, comics, audiobooks, or eBooks – anything goes!
🎵 Read at least six books over the summer or set your own reading goal (anything from reading a book by a new author, to attending a library event!)
🎵 Visit the library to collect a sticker for every book/ reading goal you finish.
🎵 Complete the challenge and earn your medal & certificate to celebrate your achievement! The challenge runs until 12th September!

Plus there's even a mini-challenge for pre-schoolers, with their own packs and stickers (no medal for them as it's too small, but you still get the certificate, so that's nice).
Come to the library to sign up, pick your books, and start your Read To The Beat adventure !
