Kimba library lovers

Kimba School Community Library’s Katrin Cant brought in homemade cupcakes last week in celebration of Library Lovers Week.

Staff made a display for community members to have a blind date with a book, encouraging all to indulge in the love of reading – and eating cupcakes.

Books were picked at random and wrapped in brown paper with a blurb, a special surprise inside for those looking for a little risky reading.

Head into the library and ask staff for their special pick, or peruse the shelves and fall in love with characters, covers or wherever your imagination takes you.
