Last day Saturday 12th September! Don't delay!
We want to see your happy face! 😃

🚨 DON'T RISK GETTING THE 'FACE' 🚨

We all know this look. It’s the face of absolute betrayal your child will give you if they miss out on their rewards because the deadline slipped by! 🫣👇

The final countdown is ON! ⏱️
The Cornwall Reading Challenge ends this Saturday, 12th September. It is the absolute last chance for your Extraordinary Explorers to collect their well-earned loot!

🏃‍♂️💨 GET TO YOUR LIBRARY. RUN, RUN, RUN! 🏃‍♀️💨

What's waiting at the finish line? A beautiful medal keyring, stickers, certificate, and a voucher for a FREE Treasure Trail worth £10.99!

⚠️ LOST THE BOOKLET? DON'T PANIC! Just head down to your local branch anyway, and the team will make sure they get their rewards.

Tag another parent and remind them to cross the finish line before it's too late! 🏁

Paul Harris had only £300 in his pocket and a huge rucksack when he set off along the coast path on a pilgrimage around the country in 2020.
He waded through mud, snow drifts, experienced the kindness of strangers, reconnected with family slept rough and walked in blazing sunshine on a restorative journey to rebuild his life after military trauma.
The Salt Path and much more....🤣
Listen to his account of his journey on Borrowbox.

Hear hear.
Emma Donoghue is a fantastic writer.
And anything recommended by Philippa Gregory, herself a brilliant historical writer - the research is impeccable and so well woven into the narrative and characters - is a sure winner.

Thanks Redruth Library! So true...
And we have so enjoyed talking to the readers and hearing about all the varied books they've read...
We will miss that!
You've got until Saturday 12th to finish!

Our extensive research shows that children that have finished the Cornwall Reading Challenge are in fact cooler and more interesting 😉 Don’t worry if your children haven't finished yet - they have until 12th September to claim their medal and a voucher for a free Treasure Trail worth £10.99!

If coming into the library is tricky now school has started, Redruth Library is open until 17:00 Monday to Friday and we'll have extended opening on Saturday 12th September 10:00-15:00.

When people say "be yourself" Clare Palmer wants to scream!
She jumps at the chance to become a lookalike to reality TV presenter and get her life back together.
But how easy can that be?
Especially when being someone else takes Clare’s life down a track that’s even rockier than the one she’s on…🤣

Ways of getting in the water.
It's still pretty nice!
We have lots of books about wild swimming and this one is a particular favourite.
