Happy Friday with our ! 📚🙂

Today we have 'The mechanic: the secret world of the F1 pitlane' by
Marc 'Elvis' Priestley. 🏎🏁

In the high octane atmosphere of the Formula One pit lane, the spotlight is most often on the superstar drivers. And yet, without the technical knowledge, competitive determination and outright obsession from his garage of mechanics, no driver could possibly hope to claim a spot on the podium. These are the guys who make every World Champion, and any mistakes can have critical consequences. That's not to say the F1 crew is just a group of highly skilled technical engineers, tweaking machinery in wind tunnels and crunching data through high spec computers. These boys can seriously let their hair down. Whether it be parties on luxury yachts in Monaco or elaborate photo opportunities in gravity-defying aeroplanes, this is a world which thrills on and off the track.

Find the book through our catalogue and the dressing up costume in the children's library!

This month, our library assistant Charlie has read ‘The House in the Cerulean Sea’ by T.J. Klune.

The House in the Cerulean Sea is a beautiful warm hug of a book.

Linus is a Case Worker at the Department in Charge of Magical Youth. When he is sent on a top-secret mission to assess the safety of a bizarre orphanage run by the mysterious and charming Arthur, things get very weird very quickly. It’s a tale of differences, acceptance, and figuring out how to do the right thing when things aren’t black and white. Warm and magical, this book provided laugh-out-loud moments, intrigue, and comfort all wrapped into one.

I highly recommend this one if you need a laugh or a glimmer of hope… or just a lovely story!
