April & May events

Usborne Book Fair

Come and buy a book from our Usborne rep, Kate, who sets up a book stall in the library. The more books bought or ordered by you, the more free books Kate will be able to give to the library! From the books she sold in 2011 she was able to donate £320 worth of books. So thank you for all your purchases!

Visit Kate O’Sullivan’s website www.usborneonline.org/Ruby55 or call her on 079 6820 2199 to place an order. Next dates: Monday 2nd & Tuesday 3rd April 1.30pm to 5pm on both days and also Saturday 28th April 11am – 5pm.

World Book Night 23rd April 2012

World Book Night is a celebration of reading and books which sees tens of thousands of passionate volunteers give away books to those who don’t regularly read to share and spread their love of reading in their communities. At least one copy of each of the 30 titles on this year’s World Book Night list is available to borrow in the library. Go to www.worldbooknight.org to find out more.

Last year we handed out free books to many of the restaurants, pubs and cafes around the Triangle, enclosing leaflets about this library so readers of the books could be encouraged to read more. This year we will be handing out free copies of ‘Notes on A Small Island’ by Bill Bryson and ‘Small Island’ by Andrea Levy to the bus drivers as they come through the Crystal Palace Terminus.

Will you be handing out World Book Night books this year? Come and tell Fiona how you are proposing to do it. If enough people tell her their stories she will make a display in the library.
