Whole School Reading Challenge

This is a very busy term for us all in the library. Book Week will be held during the first week in March, when we will be welcoming authors to our school, taking part in reading challenges, and celebrating World Book Day.

One of the reading challenges this year is for all of us - the whole school. We are going to try to read the height of the school by the end of this term!

All the books we read will be measured and the totals added up and we shall see how high we can read. As books are returned to the library, we will measure them and add the total on. If you are reading electronically using an e-reader or tablet, let us know as you finish each book and we will add on the appropriate number of millimetres to the total.

Let's go for it - how high can we read???

Happy New Year - for reading!

Welcome back everyone. I hope you have all had a good break and managed to do lots of reading as well.

Have you made any New Year's Resolutions? If you did, or if you haven't made any yet, how about adding reading to your list of things to do. One of my resolutions is to read as much as I did last year, but to try and read some more books by new authors. I am also going to try and clear out my to-be-read pile, and return all the books I have borrowed to the libraries and friends they came from.

This is a very busy term for us here at Kingarth Street library. Book Week will be taking place in March, and we have some brilliant authors coming in to visit us then. Each year group has it's own reading challenge to complete, slightly different for for all of us but with the aim of encouraging everyone to read as widely as possible. We also have the whole school reading challenge which will be starting soon.

Look out for lots more information on all of these exciting events in the library and around the school.

Happy Reading in 2013!
