Upcoming Events
The library started the new school year with two events in quick succession.
We’re very excited to have the author Mark Lowery visiting us in February! Mark is the author of a number of humorous novels, and will visit Year 8 to talk about his work and life, and carry out a book signing.
We celebrated Roald Dahl Day on the 13th September with a display of facts about the author, and a Roald Dahl name generator. We also played episodes of Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes, and introduced a ‘dream jar’ full of inspirational quotes to the library for students to pick when they need a morale boost.
National Poetry Day on 3rd October was a chance for staff to get creative – this year they were challenged to create some ‘Venn poems’, inspired by the Twitter poet Brian Bilston. Examples of the excellent staff efforts can be seen on the library’s social media accounts.
This year the library has signed up to the Book Pen Pals scheme, where authors and schools are paired up and exchange book recommendations by post. We have been twinned with the author Sylvia Hehir – pop in to the library to see her postcards to you, read her books, and send a postcard back!
World Book Day is on Thursday 5th March. Look out for your book tokens and Scholastic book club leaflets which will be distributed through tutors on the day, as well as our big competition and themed lunch during the week.
Book Fair Thanks to all who supported the book fair we raised £224 in commission. We will use this money to buy books for the library, as well as to make a donation of books to the Clark Clinic.
