Library@Trinity

Today we boxed up the remaining library books and had to throw away all the damaged books - heartbreaking for everyone.  A huge thank you to all the members of the Science Department who did all the hard work - making the boxes and shifting the books from the shelves.

It's been a difficult day - the librarians have been sorting out all the damaged books.  There are quite a few.  But some of the books on the higher shelves should be OK.

ITV news broadcast images of our library. The Christmas tree looking a bit sad now. Waiting to go in to start the clear out.

We are devastated that the Chapman Library has been badly damaged by the flooding that happened over the past weekend.  Although we are not sure of exactly when the library will be up and running again, we will be doing everything we can to restore the library to its former glory.

This week's book of the week comes highly recommended by Mr McCardle!

Coming too:  New Star Wars fiction!  Look out for the display next week.

Look out for all the new books in the Chapman Library this term!  Lots of new books for accelerated reading too.

The first meeting for the new Quester reading group took place at lunchtime today.  It was exciting to see over 18 students taking part.  Looking forward to seeing you all again next week!

Film club will resume on Thursday 12th November.

Closing date is 23rd October.  Pick up an entry form in the library!  Everything you need to know about the World Cup can be found on the displays as well as lots of books all about rugby.

This week five Year 7 students got to borrow the library kindles to read the new David Walliams book. Here's what some of them said when I asked them what they thought about reading with an e-reader: "It's quite a lot easier and  you can get more comfortable when you are reading as you don't need to move to turn the pages.  I enjoy reading e-books as much as ordinary books!"   Emma Harding "I like reading both on a kindle and a proper book but if given the choice I'd read everything on a kindle!  It's easier to read when you're going to sleep.  Oh by the way, Grandpa's Great Escape is very good and I'd give it 4 starts out of 5."   Owen Batey "I find it easier to find my place and I prefer it to a traditional book " Liam Graham
