Try a new series






Looking for something FUNNY to read ... then why not try the Brilliant World of Tom Gates by L Pichon.  Perfect for readers who like Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Big Nate.  Written in a similar style, the Tom Gates series is a handwritten journal written from Tom's point of view about his life at school. Filled with lots of quirky illustrations it is a quick FUN read.  Winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize this series is not on the shelf long so be quick and grab a copy!

Happy Birthday Hairy Maclary





"Out of the gate and off for a walk went Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy" is how this little dogs first adventure begins.  During July libraries and bookshops around New Zealand have been celebrating the 30th birthday of this wonderful picture book by Lynley Dodd.  Look out for it in our library along with further books in the series.
