Greetings to all from the Library staff, Fiona Singer, Norman Stein and myself, Ginnette Cameron-Gardner.

I have just watched a promotion for the Artemis Fowl movie and wanted to remind everyone that if you have not read the series yet, now would be a good time to read the books before you see the movie.

The books are really entertaining, and I would seriously suggest you read at least one before you view the trailer, but I know you will find it hard to resist viewing the

ARTEMIS FOWL Official Trailer #1 (2019) Disney Movie HD which now can be viewed online www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PW3-0dGGpU

The American science-fantasy movie is based on the series Artemis Fowl written by Eoin Colfer and is to be released on 9 August 2019, with Kenneth Branagh is Director and Producer.

You will be hooked from the first page of the first in the series Artemis Fowl. Do not let the mention of fairies put you off. These are not pretty little creatures with wings, they are feisty creatures who have hidden away from humanity and developed technology in advance of that which the humans have. They are armed and dangerous and not to be messed with.

Artemis Fowl is the main character. He is a 12-year-old criminal mastermind, son of Artemis Fowl1, who leads the family criminal empire. Artemis Fowl has been researching whether fairies actually exist, and he sets out to capture and ransom one for the fairies famed prized gold stores.

There are eight books in this action-packed adventure series and they need to be read in order. Artemis Fowl. The Arctic Incident. The Eternity Code. The Opal Deception. The Lost Colony. The Time Paradox. The Atlantis Complex. The Last Guardian.

They are held in the Primary Library but also in the local public libraries, so you can continue your holiday reading.

The great escape available to us all is into a world of our own choosing within the pages of a book. I do hope that you enjoy the Artemis Fowl series.
