Books are 'Mirrors, windows and sliding glass doors' (Rudine Sims Bishop)

Got the beanbags: students now needed to sit and tell tales. Storytelling Club is every Tuesday A and open to all in Y7 and 8 who love to hear and/or to tell stories. Last week we explored cyber bullying through stories. Come along and decide where our tales will take us next….

We’re encouraging our students to remember those who sacrificed their lives to defend freedom and all those affected by war by reading their stories, including the stories of those whose voices haven’t always been heard.

We're marking World Mental Health Day in the Library by reminding our staff and students of the great support available for them here, whether it's 'Shelf Help', a '6 Minute Read' or a quiet sit by the window taking in the stunning view.

We like the idea of our Library being (in Paula Poundstone's words) a 'raucous clubhouse for free speech, controversy and community' so we're very happy to be supporting Prior's Equality and Diversity Group as they show support for the LGBTQ+ community with today's Mufti Day.

10 June is Empathy Day, and having students read books together in school is a great way to get them learning empathy skills, say Miranda McKearney and Jo Cotterill

A hushed Library full of students revising. I'm thinking of Hughes' 'Thought Fox' when 'with a sudden sharp hot stink of fox/It enters the hole in the head'. Here's hoping that, in school libraries everywhere, dark holes in the head are being made brilliant.

School libraries will be an essential tool in overcoming the learning barriers caused by COVID-19. Our research showed that 73% of children and young people who use the school library have, on average, higher literacy engagement scores than their peers. @CILIPinfo

'Today I bake, tomorrow I'll brew'. Whether you recognise this as your lockdown routine or you know that it's the moment when Rumpelstiltskin gives it all away, Prior Park Library wishes you a very happy Tell a Fairy Tale Day 2021. Let us know your favourites......

Tonight's Freaky Friday story from the Library at 4.30 is Saki's 'Sredni Vashtar'. Prepare to be appalled and delighted. Teams message Mrs Currie if you want to be in on it.

In the Library we're getting ready for a season of reading with the Christmas Reading Challenge for L3 and F3. Just hope none of them want that book on Modigliani.....

[Prior Park Library @PPC_Library]

Brilliant to see that students are reading at home and that you've been busy AR quizzing. Keep it up! AR rewards will be awarded when we get back to school.

@PPCAcademic I'm happy to see there's a Lego librarian there! 😉
