held at the Christmas party which takes place on
Friday 13th December at the library starting at 6.30. As usual, you will be providing the delicious
eats (organization nearer the time) & FOAL will be providing the drinks.
NEW BOOKS
The new books will be in the library any day now. Margaret Atwood’s “The
Testaments” got this year’s Booker prize. The relevant reviews are on the
suggestion table & I will be sending out lists any day now.
NEW SHELVES
We are investing in some new shelves on which we will put the Book Sale
books, freeing up the tables for discussions & Book Chat & Coffee
Mornings. The latter is a new venture for FOAL members which will start in
January & will be held once a month, one month a Friday, one month a
Saturday. I f you wish to participate, send an email to foal34@gmail.com
We have also decided to buy a couple of armchairs which will be placed in
the main room in the hopes that people will stay for a chat & a cuppa.
BOOKS FOR BOOK SALE
PLEASE do not bring in books without first giving us a list. Without a list
we cannot accept books. Too many people are emptying their shelves &
bringing in books which are unsellable.
We shall be holding a special book sale on Saturday 9 November with a 3
for 2 offer. (Buy two get a third book free)
COFFEE MORNING
From January we shall be
holding a coffee morning once a month so that members can get together for
discussion. If you are interested, send an email to foal34@gmail.com
