If anyone hasn't seen Ruth and Amelia's crafty work at our little corner of the office up here, come and take a look! We have chosen a Frozen theme, quite appropriate with the temperature of the air-conditioner up here!!
Also wanted to share a story of a lovely family that were in on Sunday. There was an 11-month old girl who was clearly very active and exhausting her parents in the kids area! So much so that the Mum had practically passed out on the couch - arms outstretched - head back - I am sure if we got closer we would have been able to hear her snoring!!
The Dad was trying to tire out his little girl but you could see he was struggling as well, and another family of a Mum and two young boys (about 10 and 12) came over and started chatting to the Dad, and the two boys started playing with the little girl. They were so sweet with her and were keeping her thoroughly entertained, while Dad could take a seat and just watch on (while Mum still slept in the corner!)
Jo also had a chat to the family and we discovered the little girl's first birthday was on Boxing Day. Jo asked if they were going to have a party, but they replied they were not because they had no other family here. So that struck a chord with us even more, that they were able to get some help and solidarity from complete strangers in the library. Even with a small language barrier, nothing stopped this other lovely Mum with her two boys giving this family a much-needed break!
