Not quite as good as holding a book but if you can't get to your local library its the next best thing.

Staff-pick Saturday! 📚

Every week we want to bring you a book that one of our staff wants to recommend. This week we have "The Library of Heartbeats" by Laura Imai Messina.

On the peaceful Japanese island of Teshima there is a library of heartbeats, a place where the heartbeats of visitors from all around the world are collected. In this small, isolated building, the heartbeats of people who are still alive or have already passed away continue to echo.

Several miles away, in the ancient city of Kamakura, two lonely souls meet: Shuichi, a forty-year-old illustrator, who returns to his home-town to fix up the house of his recently deceased mother, and eight-year-old Kenta, a child who wanders like a shadow around Shuichi's house.

Day by day, the trust between Shuichi and Kenta grows until they discover they share a bond that will tie them together for life. Their journey will lead them to Teshima and to the library of heartbeats . . .

We just had to share as we know how a lot of our customers feel about border collies. Casper (TeamCasp47) and his team are amazing and so wonderful to offer books for the young ones.

Our thought are with the family and friends of legendry actor James Earl Jones who died today aged 93.

James Earl Jones brought so many characters from books, plays and screens to life with his amazing presence and voice.

RIP

“When I read great literature, great drama, speeches, or sermons, I feel that the human mind has not achieved anything greater than the ability to share feelings and thoughts through language.”
― James Earl Jones

Hollywood actor died on Monday morning surrounded by his family.
