We’re excited to share our brand new little bookshelf flyers! 🎉

These are a fun and creative way to keep track of the books you’ve been reading recently. Simply jot down your latest reads on the shelves, and if you fancy a bit of therapeutic downtime, you can colour them in too! 🎨📖

It’s all part of celebrating a love of reading and supporting The National Year of Reading, because reading should always be fun, relaxing, and something to share. 💛

A big thank you to one of our lovely young visitors who brought theirs in to show us, filled with all the brilliant books they’ve read so far! We loved seeing it, and it’s inspired us all 🌟

Why not pick one up next time you visit and give it a go? We’d love to see your bookshelf!
