The Wigoder Library is a repository for extraordinary books that chronicle learning across time, space and different academic disciplines.

Ms Scott spoke about the importance of reading over the summer in assembly this morning. Why not come and borrow one of the titles below, freshly arrived in the Library this morning?!

Although we are nearing the end of Celebration Term that doesn't mean we don't have new books to borrow. All of the titles below arrived this morning and some had already been borrowed within the first 30 minutes of their arrival!

We have some brand new books in the Library today which were very kindly gifted by one of our Jack Petchey Achievement Award winners! Great title selections courtesy of Jacob 🙌

In addition to a recent slightly more significant honour, our Executive Principal @JamesHandscombe has completed Gold Level and has now been conferred the title of a Sanford Scholar 🌟

@JamesHandscombe Very much so. We even have a book exploring this further, 'One Thousand Paper Cranes, the story of Sadako and the Children's peace statue' by Takayuki Ishii!

One of the best aspects of any library is the librarians that are there to help with anything and everything.
Take a look to the sky (amongst the cranes) for a little reminder! 👋📚🤩
