My Havelock North library visit

My visit to the library

I really enjoyed going to the  Havelock North library because I finally got to get the next book in the series that I am in the middle of and it is called ‘Maximum ride - Max’ by James Patterson.  

I learnt a lot about the Dewey Decimal system and also where in the library there are fiction, non-fiction and even childrens’ books. Lynette, (the lady who talked to us about the library) told us about these free websites called ‘Any questions’ and ‘Many answers’

Right now I really want to go back to that library and sit in that spot with alot of sun and a cushion and become even more engrossed in my book. I can’t wait to just sit down in peace and quiet and just read a book at the Havelock North library.

We are engrossed in the books we issued!

Yay, we went to the Library!!!
