School Visit

 

 

Last Tuesday, 21st November, the library hosted a visit by two classes of Year 1 and Year 2 children from Robert Arkenstall school.   

 

The theme for the visit was ‘Autumn’.  The children listened to autumn themed stories and had a chance to try leaf rubbings of autumn leaves.  A few of them also took a look at The Lost Words  by Robert MacFarlane which has autumn words such as ‘conker’ and ‘bramble’, plus some wonderful illustrations by Jackie Morris. 

 

The end result was an enjoyable if hectic afternoon.

 

 

Book Club

Our friendly Book Club meets on the third Tuesday of the month in the Library at 3.30pm. We welcome anyone who enjoys reading and likes
talking about books. We don't do 'lit crit' but we discuss why we like/didn't like the book choice. We exchange tips on recent reads that we think others might enjoy, and then wander on to a wide range of subjects. You don't have to buy the books – we take turns to choose a book from a Cambridgeshire Libraries multi-copy list. If you are interested in joining us, send a request to Sally via info@haddenhamlibrarycambs.co.uk or give your contact details to a Library Volunteer.

 

Upcoming read:

Our next book is 'The Miniaturist' by Jessie Burton. Set in Amsterdam in 1686–87, it was inspired by Petronella Oortman's doll's house on display at the Rijksmuseum (pictured). We will be meeting in the library to discuss it on Tuesday 17th February at 3.30pm. Do let us know if you'd like to join us - we will provide a copy of the book.

 

To join us, speak to a Library volunteer, or drop a line to info@haddenhamlibrarycambs.co.uk.
