Did you know there are 10 Gingerbread Men hiding in our Library?
Go on a hunt and see if you can spot all 10 gingerbread men hidden in the library! Tell the volunteer at the desk how many you spotted and get a little treat!

CEL News – A thank you and holiday closing
A big thank you to all who were involved in the open day on Saturday, both volunteers and visitors. I’ve just added up our takings on the cake stand and I’m pleased to say we made 233€!!!!
That means we can order some fab new books 📚
CEL will be closed from Saturday 26th October until Saturday 2nd November inclusive for the school holidays. We will be open on Friday 8th November.
Are you ready for the CEL Open Day?
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!
This Friday…
FRIDAY FUNTIME
We’ll be making tissue paper kites this Friday at the library to celebrate the gusty autumn weather. Join us for this fun activity!
Book from 330pm, activity straight after.
NB: I WILL be handing out some fun-size chocolates because i simply cannot figure out any other way to make kite tail bows – trust me, i thought about it heaps – chocolates will be necessary 😋
Hopefully see you there!
October’s Spotlight is on…
