Just a quick word to say thank you for reading the blog & forum this year and I hope you'll carry on in 2014. 
To help any of you budding poets out, who would like to enter our Poetry Competition, but are finding it hard to get started, I thought I would put an extract, or whole poem on the blog. We have a book available at Lower Mounts Library called Read Me and Laugh by Gaby Morgan, which is a collection of funny poems by lots of different writers. I will post each day's poem until the end of the competition, and maybe longer, if it proves to be popular. It will be on the left-hand side of the blog, under the 'Quote of the Week'. Have fun reading them!
For those of you who are ready for their next step in the Reading Journey, or for anyone who would like to join (pop into any Library Centre and ask staff for details), we have a beautiful wintery scene adorning our latest card.
