Another book out and about in Wi******er; can you guess where?

A sunnier day would have been nice 😎 but I did worry if all the petals would have fallen by then 😕 Anyway, reserve yourself Four Seasons here 👉https://tinyurl.com/ykebn62x
'Flo is sick of Tokyo. She is stuck in a rut, her translation work has dried up, and she's in a relationship that's run its course. That's until she stumbles upon a mysterious book left by a drunken passenger on the Tokyo Subway. She starts to read.'

You could, if you so wished, spend £41.98 on these three books at a local retailer (other books are available.) OR... you could spend absolutely nothing on these three books at your local library (as long as they're brought back on time...) Easy choice for me!! 🙃

'The wind is cold this high up. The man shouts, but nobody hears. The cathedral roof has caught his fall, but it will not hold him for long. And it is such a long way down. On Good Friday, the verger of St Albans cathedral was supposed to be preparing the Easter service. Instead he discovers a man lying dead, fallen from the famous 50-foot-high spire. Did he jump, or was he pushed?
For DCI Maarten Jansen, it's a simple case of suspected su***de. Until a stranger, Willow, who witnessed the jump, prompts a deeper investigation into a long-buried past, involving a mental hospital, a pregnant woman, and 50 years of silence. As Willow's own family history entwines with the case, Jansen starts to wonder how everything is connected.'

As we've been monitoring our feedback box we have been acting on suggestions and niggles as much as we can to try and make your experience at the library even better.

👜 Recently, a note asked for hooks on the cubicle doors in the ladies and this is now done ✅
🔊 We also had some comments about noise levels which is tricky to solve when we have a bustling (and delicious) cafe, and groups using our spaces, however if you'd prefer a quieter visit and can do so, Wednesday and Sunday afternoons are most likely to fulfil this brief ✅

Please continue popping us feedback into the box on the desk.
