THE LIBRARY

Right, confession time! I can own up when something doesn’t quite work, and let’s be honest— ‘Book Haven’ just didn’t roll off the tongue, did it? As it happens, everyone’s been calling it ‘the library’ anyway, so after a re-vote last night (fuelled, by a strong brew or two  made by Jacqui), we’ve officially settled on ‘The Library’. Classic, simple, and dare I say, a bit posh.

Now, onto our next adventure! The ceiling has politely asked for a rain check until next year—apparently, even ceilings like to take the odd holiday. So, we’re focusing our energies on the walls and furniture for now. Any day soon, The Library will be donning a snazzy new coat of paint and some smashing furniture to boot. Our mission? To have it all ready and looking splendid before Christmas. Yes, it’s a tall order and the clock is ticking, but if we don’t quite manage that, The Library launch has been pushed back, as we have had a few delays, but never fear the library will be oping ASAP

Watch this space for more details about the big day. Who knows, there might even be cake (or at least a celebratory biscuit) involved!

Our resident elf is an absolute rascal! I caught him whispering slyly about countersinking, and before I knew it, my electric screwdriver was whirring away. Honestly, I do love a good power tool, but I had to see what mischief he was up to this time. I dashed into the library, and wouldn’t you know it—there he was, brazen as anything, removing my screw, countersinking the hole, and popping the screw back in like he owned the place. I’ll give it to him, cheeky as he is, it really did look much better!

In the hush of the library pale, where stories drift like northern gale, A polar bear, with gentle care, Padding  softly through the all the book that are there.

Between the shelves of ancient lore, He seeks adventures to explore, His snowy fur and curious nose Finding magic in the words he chose.

He settles near a window bright, With moonlit pages, pure delight, And dreams of icy lands afar, A reader, and a wandering star.
