It is hard to believe it is spring already as
Welcome
we wind our way through the last few
months of the year and hope for some
lovely sunny days.
Spring is a time for rejuvenation and
discovering new things so why not
discover something new at the library
the next time you visit or the next time
you go online.
The libraries offer so much more than
you think, and other than a few special
events, it is all free. Over the next few
months why not:
• Read something online - a magazine,
a book, listen to an eBook.
• Read or listen to something written
by an author you have never heard of.
• Join in on an event or program to
learn new skills and meet new people.
• Watch a movie online on Kanopy
or Beamafilm, all for free with your
library card.
• Encourage your teenager to come
to a WICKED session.
• Sign up for a 3D printing workshop.
We look forward to seeing you at the
library and who knows what you might
discover next time you are here.

22Reader Review - Top Read
Library customer Jean has been
reading The One Plus One
by Jojo Moyes.
The One Plus One follows
the story of Jess, a quietly heroic
single mum whose husband has
done a vanishing act. With two
children, son Nicky being bullied
and a daughter Tanzie, a maths
whiz who has a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity which her mother
can’t afford to pay for. Their
rescue knight turns out to be
very unexpectedly, Geeky Ed, the
obnoxious tech millionaire who
owns the holiday which home she
happens to clean. He has huge
problems of his own. This book
is a compelling and poignant
story about hope and love, too
enthralling to put down.
Jojo Moyes at her best.
Have you read a good book lately and would like to recommend it
to others? Send your review through to us at any of the libraries and
we’ll do our best to include it.
