Lunchtime library clubs

Last week, our two Library lunchtime clubs had great fun making marvellous mini books! 

Library displays

We celebrated Eid al-Adha in the library with a lovely display of relevant resources available to borrow.

We also shone our Author Spotlight on David Walliams, whose books are some of the most popular and frequently borrowed in the library. 

New in the library

A recent addition to the library is the Library Wish List, where children and staff can add the details of any particular books that they are looking for to borrow. If we are able to locate the requested item, then it can be collected from the Library Wish List Collection Box. This resource has proved very popular, with lots of requests being made and fulfilled!

If you have any books at home that you no longer need or your children have outgrown, please give them to your child to bring into the library. Thank you.
