Happy New Year from St Roch’s Library. It’s been a busy month in school with all the prelims happening and the library times were a bit irregular. It’s back to normal from February though,  just in time for the year’s first delivery of New Books! There’s some really good fiction, non-fiction and comics included-here’s a quick preview:

New books in January

The library is open at lunchtime for S1-S3 students every Tuesday & Wednesday. You can sit and chat with your friends, read quietly or do homework. If you feel like being creative we have paper, comic panels, colouring sheets, pens and other arty supplies.

For books fans, every Tuesday you can come along to Book Club – we chat about what everyone is reading and share recommendations. Some favourites so far have been Awful Auntie by David Walliams, Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi and The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.

From this month there’s also a Chess Club happening in the library on Tuesdays. If you’re new to chess you can learn how to play and practice your skills. Some students are already pros and there’s been some lively games. Why not visit the library at lunchtime and join in?

There’ll be more updates on library happenings coming soon so stay tuned. We’re looking forward to World Book Day already!
