Library Books of the Year
|
|
Last December, the library stock team selected their adult and children's book of the year. It was a tough decision to make due to the incredible works of fiction published in 2018, but the books that were decided upon were Daisy Johnson's eerie 'Everything Under', and for children, Kiran Millwood-Hargrave's stunning offering, 'The Way Past Winter'. Both books are available from the library and can be reserved today!
