Rohese is seeking new and exciting ways to get more people to engage with their town libraries and the joy of reading so she is starting a Book Fairy initiative.

Once a month (starting in June), she will leave a book in a random library* and share a riddle as to its location. The finder of the book is free to borrow it. In turn, all she asks is that the book is replaced once it has been read so others might enjoy it and she is encouraging you all to do the same. Let's spread the love of books far and wide.

Watch this space for the first book and riddle coming soon!

*Or other suitable location nearby where it isn't possible to place a book somewhere in the library itself without the janitor grabbing it first!

Where tropical wonders and mysteries convene.
In a library I dwell, hiding within, 
A riddle to solve, a book to win.
 
Seek out the flora, vibrant and bright,
Where colourful petals bring pure delight.
Amidst the shelves in a place so grand,
With countless stories, waiting to be scanned.
 
Now, brave explorer, embark on your quest, 
Solve the riddle, put your mind to the test. 
Find that book, lost in a library's nook, 
And unlock the knowledge it's eager to cook.```
The Book Fairy has made her first delivery!  Solve the riddle (it's easy) to find the book.  Feel free to take it but you are encouraged to return it so others can enjoy it too or leave another in its place!

It's that time again! The Book Fairy has made another delivery.

A city adorned with intellectual strains.
In its grand library, a book's hiding deep,
Within shelves vast, secrets will keep.

Wander through halls with tapestries bright,
Where histories unravel, bathed in light.
With portraits of scholars, their minds ever keen,
Discover the section where Kings convene.

Seeker of knowledge, heed my verse,
Solve this riddle, and your mind immerse.
In hallowed halls, a treasure awaits,
Unveil the book, and wisdom captivates.```
As before, solve the riddle to find the book.  Feel free to take it but you are encouraged to return it so others can enjoy it too or leave another in its place!
