Calling our Build Club members!
New competition has begun. It’s called ‘Can You Dig it?’
You will be building this monster Excavator – but there is a twist! The parents can help build and by taking out books for themselves they can give their child a bonus point.
Don’t miss out next Thursday, oh and please bring empty ice-cream tubs…

Bream Community Library is privileged to announce that today in Gloucester we were announced as finalists for the David Vaisey Prize.
For details about this prize please visit:Â http://davidvaiseyprize.co.uk/shortlist-announcement-on-august-1st/
Winning the prize would of course be incredible, but to be shortlisted is such an honour in itself, so much thanks need to be said to everyone involved, all our volunteers and Gloucestershire libraries for their continuous support. A special thanks must be said to our Support Officer who takes care of all the community libraries.
Two volunteers from Bream Library attended the function held at Gloucester Cathedral today. The announcements were made in the reception room called the ‘Laud Room’. It is a room dedicated to the Dean of Gloucester (1616) William Laud DD.
After, there was refreshments and some networking to be done and of course pictures to be taken (as I would need them for this blog post 🙂 )
Andrew Taylor announced the winners of the Festival’s writing competition on Saturday evening, and each excellent entry was read out to the audience.
Congratulations to
Izzy Daly for Him  – winner of the Youth Award, donated by Foresters’ Forest, Reading the Forest project
Deborah Gregory for Postcard – first prize, awarded by Chepstow Bookshop
Val Ormrod for The Joy of Word – second prize
Paul Stephens-Wood for I’m Reading my World – third prize

The Royal Society celebrates the best books that communicate science to young people through their Young People’s Book Prize. Each year an expert panel of adult judges choose a shortlist of their favourite science books from entries submitted by publishers.
Here is the 2017 shortlist:
The adult judges will hand over the task of picking a winner to groups of young people under 14 across the UK. These groups are from schools, libraries, scouts and brownies, science centres or youth groups. They form their own judging panels, and will read and discuss the books over the summer. Once they’ve made their decisions, they will submit their verdict to the Royal Society – together they decide the winner, who will be announced in November.
