World Book Day – read around the world with us on March 7!

Open a book, turn a page – and be whisked away to another time and place. Books truly are a window to the world. Experience the joy and power of reading with us as we celebrate World Book Day on March 7 at the library:

  • Explore our collection of over 8,000 titles and media items
  • Hear readings of selected stories from around the world throughout the afternoon
  • Take the story further with fun crafts and activities – including an oversized banner everyone can help create and decorate
  • Treat yourself to some goodies at our cake stand… because it’s no fun reading on an empty stomach.

World Book Day runs from 1-4pm, while the library will remain open until 5pm. So you’ll have plenty of time to return, renew and check out books. Hope to see you there!

Holiday Closing
CEL will be closed on Saturday 22nd February and Saturday 29th February due to the school holidays. We will be open on Friday 28th February as usual.

And as they gazed, they sniffed and sighed.
The library is big and the world is wide!
How I long to play!”
Said the children that day.

Not long now! The CEL Open Day is just around the corner – October 19. Join us from 10am to 4pm for games, songs, crafts, readings and fun throughout the day as we celebrate the contribution Julia Donaldson has made to children’s literature.

(Our CEL Open Day posts have featured slightly adapted verse from The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and The Snail and the Whale. Did you catch it?)
See you soon!
