We’ve just got a couple of books into the library that I would say are amongst my favourite books! These are Marley and Me by John Grogan and The Pact by Jodi Picoult.

You may have seen the movie of Marley and Me, but definitely give the book a go as well, because it’s just as good, maybe even better than the movie. There’s much more stories of the mischief Marley gets up to.

Next time you go to the library, head up to the circulation desk and nab yourself a free bookmark! We’ve been making and handing out a few different designs for the past week or so and they’ve become quite popular. Just a little something from us to you to help make reading more enjoyable for you.

I got the idea from a great Library blog that I’ve been reading quite a bit lately. The Librarian who writes the blog, has come up with some fantastic ideas for libraries and I plan to try out more of her ideas in the future. You can check out her blog ‘Skerricks’ here
