Dave Pigeon Book Launch

Last Tuesday we had a fantastic book launch in our library for our Patron of Reading, Swapna Haddow.  We were celebrating Swapna's fourth Dave Pigeon book, Royal Coo!  Swapna and her husband and son came and decorated the library with some very cool Dave Pigeon bunting and cardboard cut-outs, we made bird feeders, took wacky photos and had some delicious Dave Pigeon cake.  To thank us for hosting the launch Swapna wrote us our own Dave Pigeon short story, which is hilarious.  Make sure you come in to the library and read it.

Thanks to everyone who came along to make this a special event for Swapna. 

Parent Library

Did you know that we have a Parent Library as part of our library collection?  This is made up of a selection of great parenting books by people like Nigel Latta, Celia Lashlie and Steve Biddulph.  If you ever need some advice with tricky parenting situations please come and grab a book or two from our Parent Library.  This is now located in the small green bookshelf just inside the library doors.  Just add your name and contact details to the clipboard along with the titles of the books that you are borrowing.

What book do I read next?

As well as being here to help your children choose new books to read I can also help you.  If you need a great read aloud book to share with your child at bedtime, a children's book for yourself to read or the perfect book to share with your child who may be going through a difficult time, please talk to me.  I'm often not around at the times you may be dropping off or collecting your child but please leave me a note in the library or email me - zac.mccallum@halswell.school.nz.
