Smallest book ever....

Well, it has yet to be confirmed, but the Telegraph have reported about this book....

Created in Japan, it is claimed to be the smallest ever printed book.  The pages measure 0.75mm (0.03") and is impossible to read with the naked eye!  

The book, Shiki no Kusabana (flowers of seasons) has tiny illustrations of Japanese flowers, such as cherry and plum.  The letters are just 0.01mm wide.

So, in keeping with this...what is the shortest book you have ever read???  Ooooo that's a hard question!

Been so long.....

Its truly been an age since I got the chance to update this blog - no whys, wherefores or excuses, just please accept that I will be doing this more regularly from now on!

Just a reminder that this is our blog for Havering Library book lovers!  I have updated the book reviews (see the tabs above)...if you want to submit a review then drop me an email with it.  

OR if you are an author or publisher who would like a book review then feel free to contact us - however, the review will be done by either a member of staff or a member of public - so you will get an honest review!!!  Email is ruth dot gedalovitch at havering dot gov dot uk (yes that does HELP to deter spammers!).

thanks for popping by today! 

All change over on facebook!

Dickens is still continuing in libraries - I haven't just given up on Oliver, but the previous posts were taster posts as I went through personally, so please continue to read Oliver Twist and feel free to add a comment!

We have been running Facebook Havering Reading Group for quite a while now.  We have nearly 300 members but felt that we needed to make it more obviously Havering Libraries and also take the original page back to the reading group concept which we had originally planned - it became more a news and information page.

 

So - we have now acted upon this distinction.  So, if you want to join an online reading group then pop on over to our Havering Reading Group facebook page.  If you want to find out all about the fabulous new services we are offering, our events, and special activities we are running etc then you need to pop over and like our Havering Libraries facebook page.  This will become the main source for information about Havering Libraries - unless I forget to change accounts and post on the wrong page!  OR (and this just HAS to be the best option) why not like both the pages and get the best of both worlds?

 

Look forward to seeing you over there
