COMMUNITY COOKBOOK
Summer Reading Success!
A huge congratulations to the 50+ young readers who successfully completed this year’s Summer Reading Challenge at Chalfont St Peter Community Library!
To celebrate their amazing achievement, all completers had their names put into a “hat.” Our young reader Evelyn helped us by pulling out three lucky winners:
- Rayyan
- Oscar
- Emily (not pictured)
Each winner received a £10 book token to enjoy even more reading adventures!
Well done to all our brilliant young readers — you’ve made us so proud!
Meet the Authors – What a Day!
On Saturday, 21st June, Chalfont St Peter Community Library played host to a truly brilliant literary afternoon! Our Meet the Authors event was buzzing with book lovers, curious minds, and fascinating stories from four incredible writers.
A huge thank you to our fabulous guest authors:
Denise Beddows, who had us gripped with the mystery behind Who Killed Emerald Isacson? — a real-life unsolved crime set in post-war London.
Helen Fry, whose latest book Women in Intelligence shone a light on the extraordinary women who worked behind the scenes in WWII.
DJG Palmer, who brought to life the historical epic The Washing of the Spears, an absorbing tale of bravery and betrayal in 19th-century South Africa.
Guy Morpuss, who intrigued us with A Trial in Three Acts — a clever courtroom drama with a mind-bending twist.
The event was wonderfully well-attended and full of lively discussion, laughter, and plenty of questions from an enthusiastic audience. Thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the day such a success!
Didn’t make it? Their latest books are available to borrow or request from the library – come and discover your next great read!
