Hello! Welcome to the official twitter page for the Hathershaw College Library. Visit to stay up-to-date on the latest library news, events, study tips & more!
Thank you to @sufiyaahmed for visiting Hathershaw and inspiring and engaging our students with the spies and suffragettes talk. Sufiya also provided a creative writing workshop for year 7 pupils who were really proud of the work they created and enjoyed sharing it with the class.
On Monday, we welcomed acclaimed author, Sufiya Ahmed, to Hathershaw as part of our World Book Day celebrations. Year 7 and 8 pupils engaged in an inspiring talk about spies and suffragettes and a creative writing workshop. Pupils also got to chat with the author at break time.
It's World Book Day!
We are encouraging our pupils to discover different genres and find joy in reading their way. There's lots taking place across school including a book fair, the masked reader competition, treasure hunts and an author visit!

Mrs Easton's office has been looking like a library recently! We've hand picked tons of subject specific books and are looking forward to giving out these goodies on Prize Presentation Evening, next week!

This week's assemblies focused on the power of reading, in honour of World Book Day. Pupils were informed about the benefits of reading and the various ways of building a good reading habit.

I enjoyed my World Book Day visit to Oldham on Wednesday, chatting to students and giving them creative writing tips - and talking about books, of course!
The 'Don't judge a book by it's cover' competition is back at Hathershaw Library. The only information you can see is the blurb.... Well done to all the students who have entered so far. We cannot wait for the book reviews to start coming in.
A simple lifestyle swap for good sleep is to switch off devices and read a book before bed, but choosing a book can be difficult. In light of #WorldBookDay, here are some book recommendations from our students in year 8: https://t.co/RBDojwmFgj π

Lots of exciting things happening for World Book Day this week: @markillis1 is coming for a visit on Thursday, try and guess who the masked readers are in the form competition and we have a book fair running all week and other activities. #WorldBookDay2023
Students: Don't forget the book fair all this week at break and lunch in the library... if you have a book token.. come and pick yourself a book for you to keep. πππ
Welcome back! Have a look at the competition running in the library this half term... Don't judge a book by its cover! Pick up a mystery book, read it and create your own book review, hand this in to Mrs James by the 12th Dec for your chance to win a prize.π
#Sustainability is very important in the Hathershaw Library too.. so important that it even has its very own dedicated book section with many new titles continually being added.
We're taking another step towards #sustainaility and have now officially got a sustainability statement of commitment within our collection of college policies!
