We welcomed over 25 students today for a movie and some popcorn in the library. Our first film was EPIC and we will be watching the last hour this time next week.

You can now relax on a bean bag and read a book!  Come and make yourself comfortable at break or lunchtime.

To mark the centenary of the start of WWI we have put up some displays that give you lots of information about the war.  There are plenty of non-fiction and fiction books as well as a selection of war poetry.

You notice we have brand new coloured tables in the library this term!

Kira, Theo, Jack and Chloe travelled to Penrith with Mrs Barry to attend the Spellbinding award day. There were students from lots of Cumbrian schools.  Just before lunch votes were taken for the favourite book from the shortlist. The winner was All our yesterdays by Cristin Terrill. Runner up was Ferryman by Claire McFall. In third place was Bodyguard: hostage by Chris Bradford.

We've got a new football display with lots of fiction and non-fiction football related books.  Read about Messi and Ronaldo or get lost in a Tom Palmer Football Academy story.  We've got something for everyone!  Also the latest scores, details of matches and pull-outs from magazines and newspapers are available. Enter our two competions - Who's been caught reading about football? and Fanatical Fans.  Details are in the library.

Pink excitement hit the Chapman Library today as we welcomed Cathy Cassidy for a brief visit!  Nearly a hundred students packed the library to meet Cathy this lunchtime.  Lots of books were sold and everyone got them signed by Cathy. Everyone waits patiently for Cathy to arrive! Cathy talked for a bit about her books Veronika, Gemma and Mia with their new Sweet Honey books.  Cathy made sure she signed everyone's books. 

 We've got a whole selection of football books to read!  This includes World Cup 2014 books, books about Messi and Ronaldo as well as new books in the Football Academy series by Tom Palmer.  

Top author Cathy Cassidy will be visiting Trinity Library during lunchtime on Monday 9th June.  We are all very excited about this event.  Watch this blog for more information to follow soon. Visit Cathy's website for more information about all of her books Cathy also has a Youtube channel - CathyCassidyTV.
