Author Amy Power Shares Story with Children at Kingsclere Library

Amy Power read her book to kids at the Kingsclere village club. The book is called “As Beautiful As A Dove,” and about twenty children attended with their parents.

Her book suits kids aged three to six. Austin Macauley Publishers released the book, which tells of a butterfly seeking inner beauty. She finds it in her unique way of flying.

Sarah Davis, a library trustee, said the kids really enjoyed the story. They clapped a lot after Amy read it, and she also signed books for the children there.

Amy grew up in Kingsclere and even went to Kingsclere Primary School. The Kingsclere library hosts many book events. They also have book sales throughout the year.

This year marks the library’s 10th anniversary. Sarah wants to support local writers and plans to host more readings and talks. The library is now only run by volunteers.

The library is holding a book sale on Saturday, October 12, and Sunday, October 13. It will occur at the Fieldgate Centre. Last year’s sale made £2,000, which helped fund the library’s operations.

They will gather books mid-September. Sarah said people donate thousands of books.
