What an exciting start to the year for the library. This term the library has commenced its POP-UP service, arriving in classrooms with a basket brimming with carefully selected books, games and media. I am enjoying the adventure, what a great way for everyone to get to know the collection, read outside their comfort zone and connect in different spaces. What a blessing!

A new year and a new start for P.A.G.E.S. our very own book club! This year we will be celebrating all things literary, collaborate and create displays, plan and deliver activities and get the lowdown on how a library runs. See me to register your interest and to share any ideas you have for the year.

Is that new books I can smell? Yes, it is! We have had a collection of great reads arrive, ready for you to dive into! A taste of our latest arrivals and our books of the week: 

Tiger Heart

One magical friendship. One roaring adventure.

The magical tale of a bold young chimney sweep and a remarkable tiger, a dangerously hypnotic ruby and a mystical land found across an ocean and through a storm. Perfect for fans of The Girl of Ink and Stars and Pax.

Fly never meant to end up in a cage with a man-eating tiger. And though she’s no princess, when the tiger bows to her, she can’t help vowing to free him and return him home.

The Republic of birds

Olga loves the stories of the old cartographers and pores over their ancient books and maps, trying to unlock their secrets. Sometimes, she can even feel through the maps—almost see into them — as if by magic.

When the bird army kidnaps Olga’s sister, Mira, Olga knows that only she can venture into the Republic of Birds to rescue her. But first, she must unlock her magical ability.

As her journey takes her into the hidden world of the Iagas and the wilds of the Unmappable Blank, Olga discovers the truth about the war with the birds—and learns just how much is at stake in her quest to save her sister.
Inspired by Russian folklore, The Republic of Birds is a rich and spellbinding fantasy adventure.
