New Year - New Start

A new year is a new beginning, a chance for us to re-evaluate and refresh. As the new year begins, we feel that we need to make changes in our life, start on a new path, do new things, and say goodbye to old habits, problems and difficulties. If you would like to change your lifestyle but you're not sure where to start, why not visit your local library where they have books to help and guide you through the process. They have books to help improve your fitness, your eating habits, your cooking skills; books to help your mental wellbeing, to teach you new crafts and hobbies, books to help organise your mind and life plus much more. Call in to your local library today and let us know how we can help you? Visit www.wrexham.gov.uk/libraries for library details.

I wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day by Milly Johnson

I wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day by Milly Johnson

Six people stranded in bad weather take refuge in an old deserted inn over Christmas. Bridge is on her way to meet her soon to be ex-husband Luke to finally sign divorce papers. Luke is on his way to meet her to do the same. Industrialist Jack is on his way to a business weekend meeting to hopefully sign a deal with a Japanese client.

Mary is PA to Jack and has been in love with him for some time and is hoping their working relationship will develop into something more!

Charlie and Robin are on their way to spend Christmas in Avimore at a luxury resort, but instead are having to spend it with complete strangers in a rundown pub!

Six people who end up being in a festive 'lockdown', some of the characters are at peace with themselves, some are not, all though, take and give from each other in this wonderfully warm festive tale. A story filled with kindness and warmth, and not just for Christmas. A total winner of a book...read it, you won't be sorry!
