If you are an adult without children, you may often forget that the library has a downstairs as well! We come across so many amazing stories down here that we want to share and remind others that you really can enjoy these books at any age. So each month we will do a spotlight on a section of the children's library with recommended books. Go on now and pick one up! I bet you will be pleasantly surprised.
