I went on a fab course yesterday.  It was all to do with developing children's communication skills using all sorts of resources.  It even included some singing.  Watch out when storytimes return to the Central Library in the Spring as we start to include some of the ideas in the sessions!

Christmas is coming... at least it must be because the lights were turned on here in Scunthorpe last night!  That means that it's time to start digging out all the Christmas cookbooks, card making ideas and Christmas story books again.  We’ve got a few Christmas story sessions planned in the run up to the big day too - watch our events listing for details.

It's dark, cold and the nights are drawing in.  Just the time to settle down in front of a roaring fire with a good book.  There are loads of new titles out at the moment - clearly destined for the Christmas present market but that doesn't mean you can't borrow them from your library now and over the coming weeks.

There are biographies galore, Ant & Dec, Peter Kay, Richard Hammond, Jack Dee, Ozzy Osbourne etc.  There are lots of cookery books around from experts such as Levi Roots, Rachel Allen and Gordon Ramsey.  Along with bestsellers from Marian Keyes, Dan Brown and others.

Time to settle down with a cup of tea, a packet of biscuits and retreat from the winter weather I think.

Until next time.
