Each Wednesday 12:05pm-12:45pm Lesley Conway does a radio show on Eastern FM 99.1 called The Eastern Regional Library Show. Just in from Lesley.
On Wednesday's show
Children's Book of the Year Awards winners were announced last week, and there is a list in the ERL blog. Jill McCallum, manager of Youth Services, was with us on the programme today to introduce and discuss not only the winners and honour books, but some of the other wonderful titles which made the shortlist.
There are delightful picture books to read with your children or grandchildren, and books which will appeal to adults as well as children, such as Hoosh : camels in Australia, which tells the story of the Afghan traders who travelled the inland with their camels, or Once by Morris Gleitzman whose novels for kids and teenagers combine a quirky sense of humour with serious and topical subjects.
Next week, cd's and talking books, some new, some old favourites.
Cheers, Maryanne
