25.01.2022 Wow! We need space for trees

25.01.2022 Just a few extra newbies.with many thanks to our fundraisers, donors and support from the community.

24.01.2022 With social distancing well in place, we can still run the book stall. Different books again, but a few back for those who didn’t feel comfortable venturing out last week. 9-12, hope we can see you pop by.

23.01.2022 Farewell to Colleen, one of our retiring volunteers at the Library with a beautiful bunch of flowers this morning. Thank you Colleen.

22.01.2022 "A truly great library contains something in it to offend everyone." -- Jo Goodwin For this week's Banned Books Week, we're honoring an author who has spent de...cades fighting against censorship: Judy Blume. As she once observed: "It's not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written. The books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers. For two inspiring books about girls fighting against censorship in schools - both for ages 9 to 12 - we highly recommend "Property of the Rebel Librarian" (https://www.amightygirl.com/property-of-the-rebel-librarian) and "Ban This Book" (https://www.amightygirl.com/ban-this-book) For a thought-provoking young adult novel exploring censorship, we recommend "Suggested Reading" for ages 14 and up at https://www.amightygirl.com/suggested-reading For two excellent books about Mighty Girls who find hope by reading forbidden books - both for ages 12 and up - we recommend "Voices" (https://www.amightygirl.com/voices) and "The Book Thief" (https://www.amightygirl.com/the-book-thief) For stories about girls living in oppressive societies with little respect for freedom of expression, you can find many titles for children and teens in our "Oppression & Repression" book section at http://amgrl.co/2gAoIGs And, for Mighty Girl stories that pay tribute to the transformative power of books, check out our blog post "Celebrating a Love of Reading: 35 Mighty Girl Stories about Books, Libraries, and Literacy" at https://www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=11656
