Favourites

The History Week theme of "Then and now" provided staff with opportunity to share their favourite books. A display of favourites we had as a child and current favourites generated a lot of discussion.

Here's one of many favourites.





We would like everyone to share their favourites with us now. Pick up a form and list some books you have enjoyed and why you enjoyed them so much.

"Puss in books"

A Kent Library didn't adopt a library cat, a cat adopted the library. Fidel, a connoisseur on art and literature, visits the Kent Library every day.

Unwanted books

Let's face it, some books are just not wanted. What should we do with them? Try and sell them? Recycle? These options are an easy solution compared to the innovation, resourcefulness and creativity shown by the following people.

Laura Cahill designs vases and furniture from books ...

While a spoonful of chocolate fashions handbags and wallets ....

... and she's not the only one! There's make and take it and instructions on how to do it yourself.

Caitlin Phillips reckons book purses are a novel idea too.

Maybe Sue Blackwell's sculpture is more to your taste?

Brian Dettmer excels in altered books.
