The Joy of Books



"After organizing our bookshelf almost a year ago (http://youtu.be/zhRT-PM7vpA), my wife and I decided to take it to the next level. We spent many sleepless nights moving, stacking, and animating books at Type bookstore in Toronto. Grayson Matthews (http://www.graysonmatthews.com/) generously composed the beautiful, custom music. But none of it could have been done without all the volunteer hands who shelved and reshelved books all night, every night." Posted on Youtube on the 9th of January 2012 by crazedadman.

Junior bookclub at Miltown Malbay Library










The junior bookclub at the Hillery Public Library, Miltown Malbay, has been up and running successfully for the past four years. During this time the number of children attending the bookclub has grown considerably with approximately 15 - 20 children in the group at present. The bookclub meets on the 4th Friday of every month during the winter season. Children attending the club range in age from 8 – 12 years with a good mix of both girls and boys in the group. A wide variety of books has been read and discussed and many new friends have been made at these social occasions that double as opportunities to try out new reading material. Celebrations are held at special times of the year such as Easter, Halloween and Christmas. New members are always welcome.
