Book of the month

From Central Bedfordshire Council Libraries

Michiko Aoyama's Japanese Bestseller 

What are you looking for? So asks Tokyo's most enigmatic librarian, Sayuri Komachi. But she is no ordinary librarian. Sensing exactly what someone is searching for in life, she provides just the book recommendation to help them find it.

We meet five visitors to the library, each at a different crossroads. The restless retail assistant eager to pick up new skills. The mother faced with a demotion at work after maternity leave. The conscientious accountant who yearns to open an antique store. The gifted young manga artist in search of motivation. The recently retired salaryman on a quest for newfound purpose. Can she help them find what they are looking for?

Summer Reading Challenge

This year’s Summer Reading Challenge is called Marvellous Makers, and it’s all about creativity. Children can sign up at any of our libraries and get a Marvellous Makers collector's foldout poster and stamp card. When children return their books to the library or tell staff about the e-books they've read, they will get stamps on their stamp card and stickers for their poster. Read six books and kids will be awarded their Marvellous Makers certificate and medal. 


There are lots of e-books and audiobooks for children available on Libby. Click on the ‘Kids’ guide on the top of the Libby homepage for a taste of what’s available. Right now, the Libby homepage also includes a ‘Kids & Teens’ list, featuring all our children’s e-books, audiobooks and magazines.
