Library News

Welcome to 2023 and some somewhat overdue frosty weather! If it’s getting a little too chilly for you, why not pop over to the library and rent one of our DVDs for a cosy family film night? We even have some films together with the book that they were based on, so if you’re planning on holing yourself up for a while, you can go for the full immersion experience

. Or just take a pile of books to work your way through during your hibernation period, we’ve had a lot of lovely donations recently which will be making their way onto the shelves in the coming weeks so there will be plenty to choose from. Very many thanks to our donors :)

Sadly, due to a lack of space, we are currently unable to accept new donations of books for adult readers but if you have books that you would like to pass on, check out the website for the Sapana Library where a team of volunteers is working to open a library in Nepal and is on the look out for good quality English books: http://sapana-library.org/der-bibliotheks-standort-copy-copy/

…and while you’re online, don’t forget to have look at the library blog on the WAC’s website: http://www.wac.ch/library-blog/2023/1/26/uster-library

Happy reading :)

book by the WAC’s very own author is out this month. This children’s book tackles the difficult and sensitive subject of dementia which sadly touches many families across the globe:

I love visiting my grandma. We read together, play her piano, feed the birds in the garden and we love looking through her big box of photos . .

But when Grandma starts to forget who the people in the photographs are, Mum explains that Grandma is living with something called dementia. She says, "Grandma is still the person we know and love, she's just a little different now . . . "

A reassuring story about the love between a little girl and her grandma, with practical information to help young children understand dementia and the changes it can bring.

A sensitive introduction to coping with dementia, this book, based on the author's experience with her own grandmother, will help young children understand the difficult subject of dementia.

It is a heartfelt story about the enormous love between a little girl and her grandma with heart-warming, colourful illustrations by Erika Meza that will captivate young readers.
