Book Babble

We can never stress fully enough the importance of literacy in today's world. Information literacy is the catch cry in every facet of life, so it's important that we remember that the foundation for all literacy is in the ability to access and read a good selection of fiction and non-fiction books.

Here in St Joseph's Library we have a great range of books suitable for five to twelve year olds. We are always looking at new publications and adding quality material to our collection.

Popular with the littlies at the moment is the new Bob Graham book, Dimity Dumpty. This is the story of Humpty's little sister and what really happened when he fell off the wall!

Andy Griffiths continues as the most read author with our older readers. He has a couple of new titles coming out soon, so expect to see them on our shelves soon!
