Get pages turning this October...

Throughout October every year the world celebrates International School Library Month (ISLM). The month is a celebration of the work of school libraries and here in the UK and coincides with other events for all bookworms - such as the Man Booker Prize announcement, the National Tell a Story Day celebrations as well as National Poetry Day, to name but a few.

The LRC is involved in celebrations for International School Library Month including;

• Welcoming new members of the LRC Team! A huge congratulations to Liam Gowing, Chloe Medway, Sophie Bennett, Adele Lennon, Lizzie Foster, Kara Hourihane, Anna Royle and Molly Howard.

• The LRC reading group meets every Monday after college to talk about Young Adult Literature; this term, the theme we are looking at is Dystopia. Rock the Boat Publishers have kindly donated some copies of a brand new YA dystopian novel called Mindwalker by A.J. Steiger.
• The first ten people at our book club on Monday will be able to pick up a BOOK for FREE! So come along and join the conversation. In line with National Tell a Story Day and National Poetry Day, the LRC is also looking for writers to contribute to a new LRC magazine. If you have a story to tell, a book to review or a poem to share, then please pop into the LRC to get involved.

Keep checking back for more bookishness fun throughout the month!
