GET READING! Sherlock and Zombies?

Leave a comment

The Library Book group is currently reading Sherlock  Holmes stories and watching TV  and movie versions of the stories by Arthur Conan Doyle.  We’ve certainly had some stimulating discussions! If you would like to take part, come along and join us at 1:30 on Tuesday in the Library.

As for the Zombies…. the library recently broadcast an Authorslive webcast featuring Darren Shan, the author of such bonechilling titles as Zom B and Zom B Underground.

These titles are just 2 of  a 12 book series about B Smith, a teenager who must struggle to find a place in a world of racism, zombies and darkness.

To find out more, and to hear the author for yourself, come along to the library every lunchtime this week , when we will be screening the webcast again.

The Hobbit

Leave a comment
Library Book Group and Pupil Librarians

The  Library Book Group members have been reading the Hobbit. Some of us have been reading the e-book version, with illustrations, the 75th anniversary edition, or the graphic novel version.  Some of our members have read the book before and  have also read the Lord of the Rings trilogy, so those of the group who are new to the story have benefited from their knowledge of the stories and background detail.

As a special Christmas treat , the group, along with the Library Pupil Librarians,  went to see the new film of The Hobbit at the DCA in Dundee. Everyone had a good time, behaved wonderfully and enjoyed  the film!
