The library buys around 300-400 new books each year and before they are shelved they go on the display shelves. Just ensure that you check these from time to time.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More      modern books available<\/li>\n<li>More      well known books<\/li>\n<li>If      there was more new books by good authors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>We do purchase books by well-known authors. If you can\u2019t find what you are looking for then please put in a request for it to be bought.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> <\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More      of the newer books, I don&#8217;t like reading old ones unless its a new      edition, sorry, I can be a bit fussy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Fair enough, but as we only have a set budget, some popular books can get a little tatty and we do our best clean and \/ or repair them and will replace them if necessary.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> <\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I would      like the library to have more girls books for our age group<\/li>\n<li>A      Bigger Selection of Girls Books<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Umm! There are plenty of these on the shelves and in March \u201909 we did receive a box of around 20-30 books aimed at teenage girls. They were prominently displayed for a while. Remember. You can borrow books from the displays!<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To      get more books that are in diary genre<\/li>\n<li>More      books like the latest films<\/li>\n<li>Manga<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Good idea! I will keep these in mind when I start thinking about the book orders. If you have any specific suggestions then let me know!<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More      books for my age<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em> Well, sorry if I am a bit flippant here, but Duh! This is a secondary school library and the books are specifically selected for your age range. If you really think the books aren\u2019t suitable for your age then please let me know or discuss it with your English Teacher\/<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If      there were more books on things that interest me<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>You really need to let me know what you like.

S1\/2 pupils who are good readers\u00a0 need to speak to your teacher or the Librarian if you are interested in borrowing senior fiction. You may be required to get a letter of permission from your parents.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Put      books in sections by their genre, not by author\u2019s surname, that way it      will be easier to find<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Books used to be shelved by some genres but they weren\u2019t getting used much so it was decided to go back to traditional alphabetical order.
