Catherine MacPhail site

The JHA Library Group have produced an amazing new website for our Spring Read visiting author, Catherine MacPhail. Please have a look at the site - www.freewebs.com/catherine-macphail/. There is lots of great info on the site as well as book reviews by the group, and you can also sign our guestbook!

Hopefully Catherine will be able to have a look at the site before her visit on 19th March. There are still some places free for this special event - if you'd like to attend just ask in the Library.
