What a great turn out to the start of the Library Club this year, with many returning members from last year along with fresh faces. The Library Monitors excel themselves every day and a special mention must go to Hailie Smith-Johns for her exceptional work ethic and eagerness to learn new skills. I am grateful for the assistance the monitors provide and proud to see their confidence grow daily.<\/p>\n
Our \u201cShelvies\u201d are working consistently to keep their \u201cadopted\u201d shelves tidy and look appealing to readers, I look forward to seeing who takes out the coveted \u201cShelfie of the Year\u201d award this year.<\/span><\/p>\n Our Lent display was well received this year, thank you to the efforts of students who created the chains that adorned the display. The \u201cI can\u2019t remember the title but the cover was blue\u201d display stemmed from a student unable to remember a title, it forms part of the 2021 overall theme of \u201cRead the Rainbow\u201d. Our next colour featured will be red. “Why do displays?” I hear you ask\u2026 Library displays are similar to visual merchandising in the retail arena and the aim is the same, for the books on display to grab the attention of a potential reader, the only difference is that instead of it being a financial benefit to the library we are rewarded with knowing the student\u2019s knowledge, vocabulary and imagination are being expanded. All books on display are ready for borrowing, check one out today!<\/p>\n This month\u2019s book is a student recommendation – Red blood on white snow, written by local writer Annie de Souza, the student was very excited to see it in our collection as she left her copy on train in London in the hope it would travel the world and someone would love it as much as she did.<\/p>\n The introduction of puzzles into the library has been a big hit with one proving rather puzzling to solve. Congratulations to the senior students who showed perseverance and persistence when faced with a particularly complex puzzle that at first glance looks very basic. Keep your eyes peeled over the next few months for the introduction of another set of challenging puzzles on the circulation desk.<\/p>\n Things to look forward to after the holidays include a Library Scavenger Hunt<\/em> and our yearly Library Bingo challenge<\/em>. Both activities will promise to extend your reading and familiarity of your library plus there are prizes at the end!<\/p>\n LIBRARY CLUB What a great turn out to the start of the Library Club this year, with many returning members from last year along with fresh faces.
