The Summer Reading Challenge is back at Tenby Library!

It starts on Saturday (July 8) and this year’s theme is called ‘Ready, Steady, Read!’. The Challenge is open to all children who want to take part – just go into the library to sign up and receive a collection folder. Then, the next three times they take at least two books out they will get a sticker sheet for the folder and when completed, they get a certificate and a medal. The Library will also be hosting craft activities on Tuesday afternoons during the school holidays.

The Friday afternoon Lego Club will continue throughout the summer, every Friday 3-4.30pm. There’s no need to book for this, just drop in and make something wonderful.

The last Baby Rhyme Time before the summer break will be on Monday, July 17, 10.30-11am; it will be back in September.

Tenby Library and Tenby Learning Centre are jointly hosting a Community Education Open Day on Tuesday, July 18 in the Hall at 3.30-6pm. Tutors will be available to discuss their classes, and there will also be a Children’s Story Time with Phil Okwedy at 3.30pm in Library, followed by a crafts activity.

New fiction in this month includes new novels by Mark Billingham, Jo Nesbo andPeter Robinson. There’s also the new book in the wartime Emmie Lake series, ‘Mrs Porter Calling’ by AJ Pearce. New books in non-fiction include ‘Breathe - Tackling the Climate Emergency’ by Sadiq Khan; ‘Undoctored’ by Adam Kay, a follow up to ‘This is Going to Hurt’; and ‘The Escape Artist - The Man who Broke Out of Auschwitz to Warn the World‘ by Jonathan Freedland.

Narberth Library is still operating out of the Bloomfield Centre for the moment. This offers only basic facilities, just lending and returning books. There are no public access computers, and there is no phone line to the library. Any phone calls or emails to Narberth Library will be diverted to Tenby Library to be dealt with.

Food waste bags are freely available at the library on request; there is also a supply of the recycling boxes and bags.
