Forgot to post 😲

Creative Pause was a great this week, 16 super attendees all being creative, doing their own thing. A lovely evening of chatter and laughter all while we draw and paint.

If you missed out, don't worry you can join us in November. Thank you to everyone who joined me, I look forward to seeing you all next month. Dionne x

📚 MEET THE TEAM – EMMA! 📚

We’re very excited to introduce Emma, one of the newest member of our library team! Emma will be joining us on Saturdays, so you’ll be seeing plenty of her around the library. We’ve asked her a few important questions to help you get to know her… 👀

🍫 Which fictional character would you most like to spend the day with?

W***y Wonka! As long as I get to explore the chocolate factory, that is! It’s a childhood dream, especially the Chocolate Room! 🍫😍

📖 Which book would you love to forget so you could read it again for the first time?

I don’t think I’d want to forget a book to read it again! I think you get something different from books at different stages of your life. I love rereading books and discovering how my perspective has changed or noticing things I didn’t notice the first time around.

👀 What’s your most unpopular book opinion?

Children’s fiction is far superior to adult fiction! There’s something about the magic, wonder and joy created in children’s books that is incomparable. They can take you somewhere completely unexpected and make you believe that anything is possible. ✨📚

🖤 What’s your guilty pleasure read?

Dark psychological thrillers! The darker and more twisted, the better! 😈📖

🙈 What’s the book you’ve pretended to read but actually haven’t?

1984. I know so much about it, but the truth is I’ve never actually managed to get into the book! I’d genuinely like to read it properly one day, rather than just knowing what happens. 😂

So, if you’re in the library on a Saturday, come and say hello to Emma! 👋📚

As part of our ongoing partnership with local organisations, we are pleased to support Home-Start Northampton, a wonderful charity that helps families with young children through challenging times.

Home-Start offers practical and emotional support to families, helping parents build confidence, strengthen relationships and give their children the best possible start in life. Their work makes a real difference to families who may be experiencing difficulties, isolation or simply need a little extra support.

They are currently looking for new volunteers to join their team, and I wanted to share this opportunity with you all in case anyone is interested in getting involved.

If you would like to find out more about volunteering with Home-Start, please use the contact details provided on the attached poster.

Alternatively, if you would simply like to learn more about the charity and the valuable work they do, please visit their website.
