Pop-Up Library<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Pop-Up Library stall is back in lieu of the library space being used throughout the exam period. Here, pupils can browse handpicked goodies selected by the Librarian, request specific titles, or return their books. Our Pupil Library Committee members will be helping at the stall too, we couldn\u2019t run it without them.<\/p>\n

Challenges and Contests<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll also continue to promote our range of challenges and contests, including Bookopoly, Ask Me What I\u2019m Reading, and our Heartstopper colouring contest to celebrate the series release on Netflix.<\/p>\n

The deadline for the Heartstopper colouring contest is Friday, May 20th<\/sup>. One submission per pupil and each submission will be included into the prize draw where there are three Heartstopper prizes up for grabs. All submissions will also be included into the monthly School Library prize draw. There are even more ways to be included into the monthly prize draw, including returning a completed book review or Shelf Shouter, completing a genre on the Bookopoly board, or submitting a completed Ask me What I\u2019m Reading sheet.<\/p>\n
