Between 23rd and 27th September, the library held a book fair. This was the first fair for a number of years, but the thirteenth we have had since our first one way back in 1997.<\/p>\n

A book fair can be a good way to promote reading for pleasure, encouraging pupil choice from a selection of teen \/ young adult fiction (some non-fiction too). It can also be beneficial to promoting the library, maybe drawing in pupils and staff who maybe otherwise wouldn’t visit, as well as, if commission threshold met, gaining new stock for the school library. This time we did meet the threshold of \u00a3300, which is actually a lot for a school with a small roll like ours. Pupils were given free rein to select books for the library up to a value of around \u00a380 and we now have a nice selection of 11 new books to add to library stock in due course.<\/p>\n

A book fair can also support Reading outcomes and benchmarks in literacy, in particular:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
