By now you probably have a few thoughts and feelings about the book (or books) you’ve been reading so…start sharing them!

What have you been reading? Would you recommend it to us? Why/why not?

Thank you to all the kids that joined us for #SchoolHoliday activities over the past two weeks. 🥳

We really enjoyed seeing all the familiar faces (and some new faces too!), the #fun and #laughter throughout our branches, and the creativity shown in our #craft projects. 🎨🖌

Unlock extra hours this week by reading while you’re doing something else!
Check out an eAudiobook from the library and get cooking/driving/walking/swing-dancing or whatever else you fancy.
What are you going make more exciting with an audiobook this week?

By now you know you can read anywhere at any time, but there’s something about curling up in your favourite reading spot. This week fight the cold by snuggling up with your book somewhere cosy.
What makes your favourite reading spot just right?
#BaysideLibraries #WarmWinterRead

[Bayside Library Service @LibraryBayside]

Maybe it’s cold outside but don’t let the weather
(or your new book relationship) keep you locked down.

Change it up a bit by rugging up and taking your book on
an excursion this week – doesn’t it deserve it?

Where are you taking your book this week?

We know it’s hard finding time to read, so this week try swapping some of your screen time for story time.

First thing in the morning, last thing at night, on your commute, in the bath…when will you swap in a book this week?
