13th June National Jane Day

National Jane Day recognises the enduring popularity and charm of the name Jane every June 13. This day is a perfect opportunity to appreciate a Jane in your life, explore the name’s origins, and celebrate the unique personalities behind it. Share your stories and spread some kindness. Little secret...Jane is my middle name.


I just read this! A day to celebrate Jane. How fitting as two days ago children's author Jane Yolen died. She wrote so many of my favourite books and although she was 87 it is sad to think that there will not be any more. Perhaps then it is time to make sure some that are out of print are republished. These are all worth looking for in the library.




















And while you are at the library check out some other Janes who make great children's books.
