Hi folkx, Ziggy here, one of the library volunteers... thanks to another one of our volunteers, Lindsi Bluemel, i am aiming to increase the amount of books i read... :) So here's what i've read most recently & am reading now...
Firstly, i've just finished the next installment in 'The Rivers of London' series by Ben Aaronovitch... (- almost finished it in one sitting :) we don't have the whole series here but you can request books, FOR FREE, from any of the other 10 libraries in Southampton - though you do need to be a member (which is also FREE...:) - Started a new book today - 'Move Like Water' by Hannah Stowe, which is enchanting - telling the story of a childhood growing up on the Pembrokeshire coast, and adult adventures to track & record whale biology etc across the trackless oceans...
Please help our wee library out by joining as a member, and taking books out! If the written word is not for you, we have audio books as well, and books in large print too. We're next open on Tues 2nd June, 1-4:30pm - see you there?
