Chatterbooks has restarted at Askew Road library following a Summer Break.
Our groups being Star Reviewers were presented with proof copies of two book titles to read during the summer with the children’s reviews being returned to The Reading Agency to forward on to the publishers and then to the authors.
One of these books, “The baking Life of Amelie Day”, by Vanessa Curtis, prompted some Chatterbooks members to bake during the summer and they e-mailed the library with some pictures…
