Book Club
As part of Fab Change Week 13-17th November 2017 your Library & Knowledge Service will be starting a Book Club. This initiative is in response to some feedback we have received during the launch of our lovely colourful comfy Library Lounge and has also been requested via Listening into Action huddles.
If you are interested in being part of this exciting initiative, made possible by collaboration with our Wirral Public Library colleagues, please come along to the McArdle Library on Wednesday 15th November between 11.00 and 12.00 to have a chat, find out how the Book Club will work, suggest a day and time (about four weeks later to allow time for reading) that would work for you and collect your copy of the first book “The Rosie Project” by Graeme Simsion. We know that with so many colleagues working shifts etc. that picking a day and time for the Club to happen is going to be the trickiest bit of the process, but let’s see what we can do. We are really hoping that there is a group of people who want to be part of Book Club on a regular basis. Let us know what you think.

Your Library Story: the winning entry
Congratulations to Graham Dawson for winning the Your Library Story competition with the below entry!
Library and Knowledge Service: From A to ZZZzzzzzzz
"An impromptu but confidential meeting in my shared office led me on the path to the Library and Knowledge Service Helpdesk. I was greeted with warmth and friendliness. The time is now to sort my niggle I thought. Unbeknown to them, over the next few minutes the Library and Knowledge Service staff would set in motion, the best year of sleep I’d had since I was a child.
My niggle you see, was the fact that I fell out of love with reading. The mobile phone had defeated the book mark. From a book a week before my teens, to whatever was necessary at University. Despite ‘resolutions’ here, impromptu book purchases there, nothing had reignited my love of reading.
“I’m after a book that isn’t too heavy, but will get me excited about reading again”, I was quickly directed to the aptly named ‘sit back and relax’ easy reading section. Despite having knowledge of the well know phrase, I started my pursuit of a good looking book cover. Less than a minute later, I was asked if I needed further help. Their help led me to completing a trilogy of crime fiction but most importantly led me to a year of good sleep. I had been reading from my mobile but the blue light that shone in my eyes into the early hours was making me immobile. I will admit I was addicted to my phone. Now with a book before bed, I will be asleep before my pillow touches my head.
I am a slow reader I will admit, so I found myself extending my loan on several occasions; this was never a problem or a chore to the team. So thank you to you, the Library and Knowledge Service team. Goodnight."
