Be a little careful about your library. Do you foresee what you will do with it? Very little to be sure. But the real question is, What it will do with you? You will come here and get books that will open your eyes, and your ears, and your curiosity, and turn you inside out or outside in. Ralph Waldo Emerson 05/09/11

  1. * 07/16/96 * ## This is a group gathered to welcome our Bookstart Co- ordinater Anne McEwan, who does story telling sessions called “Bounce and Tickle”. The BOOKSTART scheme has brought lots of laughter and fun into our libraries. This scheme targets parents and carers along with their babies, and Anne, takes the Bounce and Tickle story telling sessions into libraries and nurseries
