So many of the suggested books flying off the shelves after our World Book Day assembly! We watched a film of pupils recommending books to staff, heard about the importance of stories and learned about the Children's Book Project. Here are your donations gratefully received.
We had an early World Book Day visit from the wonderful @katyabalen. Year 7 loved listening to how she wrote 'October, October' and my favourite book last year, 'The Light In Everything'. We all got to exercise our creative muscles and use our imagination freely. Thanks, Katya!
Ten months ago, we launched the Vesuvius Challenge to solve the ancient problem of the Herculaneum Papyri, a library of scrolls that were flash-fried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Today we are overjoyed to announce that our crazy project has succeeded. After 2000…
Two Year 7 pupils just told me they became friends when they bonded over their enjoyment of everything written by @SomanChainani. The perfect basis for a friendship!
Delighted to hear Adam Kay @amateuradam showing the importance of school libraries on 'Parenting Hell' and then found this podcast. Reading not only influences positive outcomes in life it also adds calm, happiness and excitement to children's lives.

The Y9 Book Club leaders did a great job with their Murder Mystery in the Library. Everyone was suspicious of the Librarian - so I hate people bringing books back late?🤷It's all very normal, nothing to see here. Here are some of the other witnesses cracking under the pressure.
A little experiment that took ages for one corner of the library! I have organised all the lower school fiction into genres and will do the upper school next year. Our pupils seem to be finding it easier to locate books. Photos here showing the stages. #librarians
As a treat for my hard working Book Club leaders we went book buying together today. Actually, it was a treat for me to have some expert help in choosing our new library stock. Thanks to Alicia, Charlotte and Laylaa in Y9 for all their help this year.
There are so many favourite books from my childhood here. What about yours? I'm sure there are plenty more that could be added from more recent years.

I was looking forward to seeing the shortlist so that my book group can get going on the Carnegie shadowing scheme. I haven't read it yet, but Ruth Sepetys never disappoints.

Y7 moved around the Library today to find new books. Each table had a different genre so that they discovered great fiction they may not have noticed before. Determined Crime enthusiasts ended up borrowing Fantasy and Historical Fiction. It was a lovely hour of pure enthusiasm.
We had a really popular, creative and loud Manga workshop today with some great entries for the bookmark competition. Five minutes later there was a Physics test at the same tables. Seamless. The life of a Library on #worldbookday.
A great deal happening in the Library this week and we have had so much fun. A scavenger hunt with teams running round finding clues, Y9 classes choosing a new book they will love in a speed dating session and a big book giveaway! #WorldBookDay
Thank you very much @sarahgovett for kicking off our library events for World Book Day (Week). I'm sure everyone listening to your talks and workshops now have all the creative writing tips downloaded to their brain in true dystopian style! We loved having you here @STAHSEnglish
