Visiting Crumlin Library

On Tuesday 14th March Year 4 (COB/RH)  visited Crumlin Library. There are two very nice people called Claire and Iris who help you when you go the library. Claire told us all about the library and what you can do there. We found out that there are two computers just for children to use. You get a special PIN and you can even use them to do research homework or make powerpoints. You can bring a memory stick and save your work to bring to school or show your granny or grandad what you are doing.

There are lots of books that you can borrow from the library. You can take nine books in one go! You can also visit the libraries website and read magazines and newspapers or listen to audio books.

Claire told us that there are events and activities at the library for children. She is going to have a Lego club, so call in and find out when it is going to start. It will be great fun!

We guessed that it would cost a lot of money to join the library. Someone said it would be £20, someone else said £150 or even £300 to join, but the best thing about joining the library is that IT IS FREE for everyone! You even get your own special children’s library card with a fancy design on it and you can check out the books that you want to borrow using their special machine.

Claire read a story to us and then we were able to pick different books to look at and read for ourselves while we were there. Some of us chose fact books and some chose story books and we got to sit on soft chairs while we were reading.

On our way back to school lots of hailstones came down, but luckily we didn’t get too wet. We had a great visit and Claire gave us some forms so that we could join the library and begin to borrow books, use the computers and go to the Lego club. We all really enjoyed our visit. Thanks Claire and Iris.
