On display in the Library this month you can find our collection of Christmas and Advent books. Some are old favourites and others may be new to you. Pick one up today at coffee from the book display or stop by the Library yourself. We have some lovely books for all tastes.
Two recent additions to our fiction section I want to highlight for you (even though they aren’t Christmas books).
The Borrowers, by Mary Norton. Illustrated by Beth and Joe Krush.
This novel from 1953 is a must read for preteens. A winner of three book awards, it is the charming story of a family that live under the floor of an old house. This would also be a great novel to read to young children over several days. The chapters are short, the story is exciting and the characters are wonderful. . YP FIC NOR
Christianus Sum, a novel, by Shawn J. Pollett.
For those of us who skipped Latin in school, the title translates to ‘I Am Christian’. This historical fiction takes place in the 3rd century. Rome struggles with corruption, assassinations and upheaval. The Christian community is small and being persecuted. This is the story of one Roman senator and his journey towards Christianity. If you like Roman history you may recognize many of the historical events and people. FIC POL
The Library Committee wishes you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy reading season. We hope you all have time to curl up with a good book and enjoy immersing yourself in its pages.
Pat, Joy, Cristy and Pat
