Our regular reviewer Dorothy the Ringmer megalodon met the book golem to talk about...books, of course. And the #SummerReadingChallenge, which is still on - you can join at the library. Or you can sign up online: https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk

Dorothy and the golem are still talking; we can't separate them.

Library to host storytelling session in Burntwood

https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/2025/07/17/library-to-host-storytelling-session-in-burntwood/

Has anyone else in Public Libraries noticed a signficant townturn in Summer Reading participation?

Now, I am in Adult and our Children's department is for the first time in ages, (though that's changing in a few weeks,) fully staffed, but I have had no one ask me about it since it started.

I'm wondering if this is a my branch thing, a "we have shit prizes this year" thing, or a systemic thing.
