Our Reading Dragon is getting nice and scaly! There's still time to finish your Summer Reading Challenge and come and give the dragon a scale.

The finisher's party in the World of Country Life will take place this Saturday and Sunday, so if you have finished the challenge and don't have your tickets yet, today's the last day! Hope to see you all there 🐉📚

Just to inform you that Topsham Library will be closed on Saturday 24th August as well as on the Bank Holiday Monday (August 26th).

We had a lovely time today making star wands and rockets in the library! Amazing creations were made and books borrowed in order to complete the Marvellous Makers Summer Reading Challenge, too!

You can still join the challenge to read 6 books over the summer holidays, collect stickers, and receive a medal and a certificate at the end 🏅It's all free, and there'll be a finishers' party at the World of Country Life in September, with a free child ticket for every finisher 😊
