Today is #LibraryLoversDay so we thought it fitting that the #TottonTopRead should be a library user's recommendation. Julie chose Goldenhand by Garth Nix ŌĆÅ. The brilliant 5th book in his Old Kingdom series. A series she loves so much, it enticed her to write her own stories.

Tuesday 19th February, 2.15pm - 3pm. Join us during February half term for a lovely Storytime and craft. Settle down to listen to some stories and then make your own hungry caterpillar. No need to book, just turn up on the day. Ideal for children aged 3 +.

And if you do read that book in one day, remember you can have 30 items out on your Hampshire Library card! Almost one book for every day of the month. ­¤śü­¤ōÜ
