(Firstly I should apologise for such a long absence from this blog – my only reasonable excuse is life getting in the way – I hope you’ll forgive me as I let you know about some exiting things coming up in the next few days !)

The new Edinburgh Children’s Library has been open for a year now – I don’t know if you’re like me and you love this place. I adore the little round reading nooks, and the bookshelf tree and beanbags in the back room. I love that there is a whole room dedicated to arts and crafts so the kids can get creative on every visit.

So, to celebrate their first birthday they have arranged a few special activities :

• Borrow a mystery book – from the 11^th May, you might find a golden envelope and win a £10 book token.
• Bookbug – on Friday 15^th May, Bookbug will be coming along to the usual session and there will be a present for every child attending.
• Birthday party – on Friday 15^th May 2.30-4pm. Like all good parties we’ll have juice, cake and lots of party games. We’ll even have a lucky dip for some helium balloons.

I’m planning to visit for the birthday party tomorrow afternoon, so maybe see you there ??
