I Want to Break Free

Each year, South Sefton LRC marks World Book Night.

"World Book Night is a national celebration of reading and books which takes place on 23 April every year. Books are given out across the UK with a focus on reaching those who don’t regularly read, and are gifted through organisations including prisons, libraries, colleges, hospitals, care homes and homeless shelters, as well as by passionate individuals who give out their own books within their communities. World Book Night is run by The Reading Agency, a national charity that inspires people to become confident and enthusiastic readers."

This year we wanted to try something different, so we have set up a Free Library!

Located in the foyer at the college entrance, we have positioned three book spinners filled with books. Students, staff and visitors are free to pick up a book to keep and give a book to the free library in return. There is a variety of novels across a number of genres, so get involved now and share the joy of reading. Let us know what books you choose (or donate) online using @SouthSeftonLRC or #SouthSeftonReads.

Poetry in Motion

'Held every year on 21 March, World Poetry Day celebrates one of humanity’s most treasured forms of cultural and linguistic expression and identity. Practiced throughout history – in every culture and on every continent – poetry speaks to our common humanity and our shared values, transforming the simplest of poems into a powerful catalyst for dialogue and peace.' UNESCO World Poetry Day 2017

This year the LRC has been sharing poetry online via Twitter and through putting up posters around college. How will you share your love of poetry?

For those SSC students and staff who are interested, you can attend the college Poetry Club during Thursday lunchtimes from 12.40 in F11 or get involved online with @SSCEnglishLit on Twitter and southseftonenglishlit on Instagram.
