Review: How To Make Friends With The Dark

The morning sun promises the start of a great day; well if you discount the pile of unpaid bills, the lack of coffee or the fact no water was coming out of the tap – well then yes it was going to be a promising day. 

However bad things seem, Tiger Tolliver and her Mum, June always work as a team – together they are unstoppable.

At school there are pros and cons. Her best friend Cake is always there for her, then there is nerd but prospective boyfriend Kai Henderson, on the flipside is Lupe Hidalgo and her besties who love nothing better than to make Tiger’s life suck. All Tiger wants is to go to the school dance and be normal – just like everyone else.

Event: Library Lovers Day

Tomorrow, 14 February, is Library Lovers Day! What would your love letter to a library say?

Library Lovers Day is a chance for everyone to connect or reconnect with the library and share the library love. Share your #librarylove on social media and tell your local library, and the world, why you love libraries, or drop into your library and tell them in person -- your librarians will really appreciate it.
