📻👀Did you catch our brilliant ambassador Tom Palmer on BBC #Cornwall on Tuesday? It’s well worth a listen, especially if you know a reluctant reader. Tom opens up about his own childhood dislike of reading and how he found a love for books through #football. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... #Library

We’d like to say a huge thank you to #artist and #author #KurtJackson for very kindly donating copies of a number of his books. We’re really grateful for the support and for the chance to share work that celebrates #Cornish landscapes, wildlife and communities with #library users across the county.

For today's #MondayMusing we'd love to hear what you've been reading this week. Has it been a cosy Christmas story, a quick-read, an escapist fantasy novel...? We know that some of you will have found more time to read and some are pushed for time in amongst the chaos! #Reading #Books #Cornwall
