Library Lovers' Day @ Miranda Library
After 142 entries in the
Library Lovers' Day competition it seems that
Pride and Prejudice is the most popular book as voted by visitors to
Miranda library. The majority of books nominated were novels but there were a few non-fiction titles such as
Hazel's Journey by Sue Pieters-Hawke. Eric Carle's,
The Very Hungry Caterpillar, ate it's way into the competition and people's love of language surfaced with
Beginner's Chinese being a favourite. Our customers were happy to enter the competition, many finding it difficult to nominate one favourite and at least one person writing that they "just love books".
The succesful library lover was a local resident and library member and was very excited when told they won the flower arrangement. Their favourite book was
Matthew Flinders' Cat by Bryce Courtenay. The most nominated books and authors were:
