Radlett Library

Meet Akiko – one of our Summer Reading Challenge: Read to the Beat characters! 🎶
Akiko loves slam poetry and writing her own music. To unwind, she reads manga, where she can lose herself in other worlds via the dramatic illustrations.
We’ve chosen three books that we think Akiko would borrow from the library. Why not reserve one of them today?
• Kingdom Hearts. Volume 1 by Shiro Amano:
