Favourite Book Survey 2014

We want to know what you like reading - so we can buy the books you like.  Please complete this short survey.  And if you write a review of your favourite book you'll be entered for a prize draw to win a £10.00 Amazon voucher.


Favourite Read Survey

Get reading

Every year we run the Six Book Challenge - it's an incentive scheme that encourages you to read for pleasure.  We'll officially launch it in October, but it's never too early to start - so if you are interested please speak to Kerry or Tracey for details.

2014 Best Borrowers

Congratulations to our top ten Leavers who, between them, borrowed 1138 books:

Georgina Daffern (243), Lauren Elliott (128), Laura Collins (114), Bethonie Waring (105), Caroline Russell (102), Lydia Ellis (98), Nabeeda Bakali (95), Amy Markley (86) and Abigail Palmer (83).

Small prizes were given on Leavers Day. I hope all that reading leads to even bigger rewards on exam result day!

Big Book Weed

100s of our unwanted books are being boxed up for a charity that works with the African Children’s Educational Trust (A-CET) and SchoolAid "to give thousands of children in Africa the vital chance to get an education”.  They will be collected on the 24th June - I'll be sure to take some photos.
