What's Bitten by Books all about then?
Bitten by Books club members live to read!
We enjoy the club because we:
"meet new people"
"get to find out about new books to read"
"read books we never thought we would read"
"can express how we feel about certain books"
and "it's relaxing!"
We meet every Wednesday lunchtime to share our views and would love to welcome other readaholics!
We are currently challenging ourselves to read as many titles on the longlist for the CILIP Carnegie Medal as we can before the shortlist is announced on Tuesday 27 March 2012. We're looking forward to updating our page and blog on the Carnegie site soon.
Our first trip of the year
The Bitten by Books Club, together with PSL's team of pupil library assistants, enjoyed a great trip to the Torch Theatre Cinema in Milford Haven to see the film of Michael Morpurgo's fantastic novel, War Horse.
For more information, visit the library's War Horse hotlist of
websites. No surprise that War Horse made it to the shortlist of nominees for the Book Oscars in March 2012.

Hot Quote
I pray no child of mine should ever descend into such a place as a Library. They are indeed most dangerous places and unfortunate is she or he who is lured into such a hellhole of enjoyment, stimulus, facts, passion and fun.
Willy Russell
