It's Tea Time!!

It's the time of year again- time for the Library to host Wallace and Gromit's Great British Tea Party. There will be tea/ coffee and cakes for sale, plus the chance to take part in games and a raffle. All the money raised goes to help poorly children in hospices, funded by Wallace and Gromit's Children's Foundation. Parties will be held at all three sites. Here are the times:


Booth Lane Library:        Monday 5th December- 11am- 2pm
Daventry Library:            Tuesday 6th December- 5pm-7.30pm
                                                                         (Parent's evening)
                                             Wednesday 7th December- 10am-2pm
Lower Mounts Library:    Wednesday 7th December- 2pm-4pm

So come on in, have some festive refreshments and donate to a really good cause. Look forward to seeing you there.

Poetry Competition Winners

Congratulations to the winners of the poetry competition, which ran across all three sites. There were some fantastic entries, showing a lot of talent and hardwork. All winners have been notified by Daniel, the Lower Mounts Librarian and prizes are availble for collection. Excert from 1st prize winning entry:
Top Deck (Anon)
"Mobile phones emit tinny timbres
Each of their words a foul mouthed cuss.
I close my eyes for want of peace
Not a chance on this crowded bus."
Good work all round.

Beacon Award ra ra ra!!

Huge well done to all Northampton College Library staff for winning the presigious (and elusive) ColRiC Beacon Award in Effective Integration of Libraries/LRSs in Curriculum Delivery. Loads of hard work and dedication by everyone has resulted in an acknowledgement that is really difficult to achieve. The College now has a Beacon status, which I'm sure all staff and students are pleased about. Good times!!

Poetry Competition completed

Well done to everyone who created and submitted a poem for the NC Library poetry competition. The judges are reading through the entries now and the winners should be revealed before the end of this month. Even if you're not a winner, pat yourself on the back. It takes a lot of courage to decide to let others read something as personal as a poem, so well done to you!!
