Lunch Bites in Kings Lynn

sandwichPic44Kings Lynn library have just introduced a new March 2012  initiative – Lunch Bites.

Why not visit the library with your lunch, if you are busy. You can sign up as a member, or if you already belong, find a quiet corner to select a book and have your break.

Lunch Bites, what a great idea.

Libraries could also introduce after school ‘Read and Rest’ sessions, making best use of a quiet corner or reading den in a library space.

What about having a ‘Saturday Space’ in a library, a corner dedicated to weekend reading together for families. (The events could be themed, or linked to the curriculum of local schools).

Get imaginative in your library during March. You can see the Kings Lynn Library opening times here.
