Our November meeting will be in the library in Leominster, as usual, at 11:15am on the 6th.

From December, however, we are changing the meeting time and location to the Children's Centre at 10am on the first Tuesday; which in December will be the 2nd. This is because it is hard for the library staff in Leominster to provide us with a secure enclosed space in which to contain our roving toddlers. The Children's Centre has an ideal room for us to meet in and are very happy for us to take over this slot one day a month. The books will still be available to borrow from behind the lending desk of the library.

I hope this time-change will suit Babe in Arms readers; I know we'll be sorry to leave the cosy environs of the library, where the staff have made us feel very welcome, but anyone who knows the Children's Centre will know that it too is cosy and welcoming, and I think we are lucky to be able to make this choice.

We'll hopefully have the finalised book list for next year by Thursday.

On Thursday we'll be discussing The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy, and in December it will be Running for the Hills by Horatio Clare.
