LIBRARY NEWS

Brilliant news is that 'Booked Up' runs again this year for year 7. Each year 7 receives a free book! Its goal is to encourage reading for pleasure and independent choice. Year 7 pupils choose their free book from a list of specially selected titles. St Peter's pupils have now made their choices and we eagerly await their arrival. The books usually arrive some time after the half-term break. For more information see www.bookedup.org.uk

We are delighted that Chris d'Lacey, author of amongst other things 'The Last Dragon Chronicles', will be visiting and speaking to year 7 in their English lessons on Friday 22 October. He will also do a question and answer session with specially selected pupils from year 7 and 8. Check out www.thelastdragonchronicles.com for more information. Year 7 should get his books from the Library and get reading before he visits!

There has been an improvement in the way the study area is being used in the sixth-form Library. It is great to see students taking responsibility for ensuring that they and their fellow pupils always have somewhere to work quietly. We ask that sixth-form continue to support this working atmosphere.
