For the grand re-opening of  The Library, our book is The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams. Published in 2021 it's described as 'emotional and uplifting' and 'a love letter to books'. 

Perhaps you'll be inspired by the cover's colour scheme, the diagonal design, the cat in the window...or something else?

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR LIBRARY USERS

The librarian has decided to take a sabbatical and, as the sole employee of The Library, that means we'll have to close our doors for a while. Hopefully, The Library will reopen later in the year with lots of great new books and a refreshed crafting mojo!
