Just a quick reminder that there won't be a Bounce and Rhyme session tomorrow but Rachel - and Bounce, will be back on Friday 6th November. Katherine from Devon Family Hubs will also be here on Friday 6th November so, if you'd like to stay around and have a chat with Katherine, she'll be here until 10.15.

We still have tickets for author Graham Hurley's talk on Tuesday 10th November at 10.30.
Graham's latest book, "Prey" is the 11th title in his gripping Spoils of War series and is a breathtaking thriller combining espionage and combat.
It's 1943 and the war is turning against the Third Reich, but the Luftwaffe are eagerly exploiting a lethal blind spot in the RAF's Lancaster bombers with their innovative upward-firing cannon... For fans of Alan Furst, Simon Scarrow and John Le Carre, the Spoils of War series showcases key events of World War ll and the books can be read in any order.
Tickets/Entry on the day is £3.00, including refreshments.
Available from the library or ring 01395 443245 or email
[email protected] to book your place.
Doors open from 10.15am.

Apropos of nothing (apart from the fact that we are a library so we do deal in words) here's our favourite word of the day.

Have you been spuddling lately?

Our Poetry Afternoon last Friday clashed with the first named storm of the season, but our keen poets are a courageous bunch! An audience of 16 slight soggy and windswept people - and two very important and aged bears - gathered for a delightful mix of poems, written by their readers or by well loved poets of old.
There was a break for refreshments and a chance to chat to friends both old and new. I was having such a good time myself, I almost forgot to take any photos 😃
The two illustrious bears - who came along with their human companion, Sue - were here to help celebrate the recent 100th birthday of "Winnie the Pooh".

We now have the latest East Devon bus timetables. He may not look it but Doug, our DIY bear, is cock-a-hoop!!
Drop into the library and pickup your copy soon.

We're having a "Winnie the Witch" halloween treasure hunt, from Saturday 24th October to 1pm on Saturday 31st October. There are 10 Winnie" pics hidden around the library, each with a letter on the front. Find all the witchy pics, tell us what the letters you found spell, and you will win a stretchy skeleton.
We found some of the skeletons lounging around the children's library this morning!!

Most touching borrower quote of the day:
"This library is everything"

15/10/2026

We are constantly surprised by how many of you manage to keep your library cards for years and years without losing them (not all of you - some of you surprise us when you actually have your card with you 🙂 )

Many of the cards our borrowers are still using have been going strong for about 35 years.

This card isn't quite that old but we love seeing this Max card still in use. Who remembers Max? He had his own website (The Zone) in a time when it felt fun and before we all realised that we would all be spending too much time online. Did you ever enter a competition and win a Max goody bag? Happy days :-)
