Welcome Back

Hope you all had fun over the holidays and also managed to find time to sit down and read a good book or two. If the weather today (first day back at school) is anything to go by there is still an opportunity to curl up somewhere warm with a good book and catch up on some reading before summer arrives. We have plenty of new books arriving on the shelves this term so remember to check out the New Books Display shelves and blog entries every week.
