LIBRARY ADVENT CALENDAR! 📚🎅

This year we have created our very own LIBRARY ADVENT CALENDAR at TCOLC!

The advent calendar is on display in the library and each day a door is revealed, which will give you a book recommendation to borrow / read that day e.g. it could be a book from a specific reading list, genre or topic.

If you borrow a book which is on the advent calendar throughout the month of December, on return of the book you will receive character points!

There will also be a weekly round up of all of the books revealed here on the blog.

Make sure to visit the library each day to see a new door revealed and to get borrowing the books! 📚🎅
