Our March Reader of the Month is Kayla! 🎉 Kayla is a very keen reader but was stuck in a reading slump so she visited the library to get book recommendations. She borrowed Radio Silence by @aliceoseman.bsky.social & read it over 2days! Well done, Kayla! 👏🏼🎊

Our February Reader of the Month is Morven! 🎉 Morven very eloquently explained why she enjoyed Breathe by @sarahcrossan.bsky.social and was willing to try another one of her books even though it’s not something she’d normally go for. Well done, Morven! 👏🏼 🥳
