To help your children discover new places, Brynteg Library has a special promotion where a whole world of adventure and discovery awaits you inside a book-where will your book take you and what will you discover, that's up to you. Let your journey begin at Brynteg Library.

National Picnic Month
July is National Picnic Month and Wrexham Library has everything you need to plan the perfect picnic. The Green Barbecue: Vegan & Vegetarian Recipes To Cook Outdoors & In by Rukmini Iyer contains 75 minimum effort, maximum flavour recipes for al fresco eating. Whilst Max's Sandwich Book by Max Halley is the ultimate guide to creating perfection between two slices of bread. To go with the barbecue and sandwiches all you need is salad. In Simply Salad edited by Valerie Ferguson there 30 ideas to choose from. There is even a book to help should your outdoor eating not go as planned, Outdoor First Aid by Katherine Wills is a practical manual for first aid in a remote outdoor setting. The only element Wrexham Library can't help with is perfect picnic weather.

Welsh book review
Prawf Mot gan Bethan Gwanas
Dyma gyfrol go wahanol, yn gyfuniad o hunangofiant a nofel. Cawn gan Bethan Gwanas stori Mot y Ci a stori Lea a ddaeth yn berchennog iddo. Mae'r nofel yn glyfar iawn wrth ein harwain trwy gyfrwng lleisiau'r cymeriadau. Mae yna elfennau o ddigrifiwch eithriadol ac yna tristwch, felly mae'r pegynau'r llon a'r lleddf yn gwmni i'r darllenydd ar daith ddifyr dros ben. Mae arddull Bethan Gwanas yn wych, fel y disgwyliwn, ac fe fyddwn yn sicr yn dweud fod apêl y llyfr yn eang iawn ac yn hynod o addas i ddysgwyr oherwydd ei arddull hawdd, ddiymdrech, sy'n adlewyrchiad o wir dalent Bethan fel awdur.
