@pgonlinepub trying to find the pricing of your digital textbooks? Could you advise where I can find this information?

@Therabbits21 the face masks are as fab as they can be if you need to wear one of these horrible things. How much are they?

Driving home from work today, I heard Katherine Rundell talking about an online anthology: it's called the Book of Hopes and it's a pure delight - link below. She defined children's literature as "a distillation of what makes humanity extrodinary."

There's some interesting links on here - if you haven't seen any of the National Theatre plays they are excellent recordings.

I have just finished reading "A Single Thread," by Tracy Chevalier. I know several of our year 12 students would really enjoy this title. Very appropriate for VE day too.

[CGS Library @library_cgs]

Exciting news E-Book readers! Batman, new Rick Riordan and Horowitz titles added to the collection. Personally I'm after the new Nick Hornby unless someone beats me to it ..

[CGS Library @library_cgs]

I have been really enjoying @SirPatStew reading #ASonnetADay. They feel as if Shakespeare is pouring his heart out to you, in an intimate, personal conversation.

[CGS Library @library_cgs]

Obviously please proceed with parental supervision, but I will be tuned into this!

[PuffinBooks @PuffinBooks]

Ahhh, 3.30pm, the perfect time to have iced buns🧁and tea ☕️ whilst we tune in to #PuffinStorytime with @redbreastedbird this Thursday! #MurderMostUnladylike 😍

[CGS Library @library_cgs]

A treat for you all - author interviews from past Hay Festivals. Please do drop me an email and let me know if you find any of them particularly inspirational, or if they mention any books you'd like for the library when we get back.

The Philosopher's Stone is also one of the audible books which can be streamed for free - you could also try it in French or German!

[CGS Library @library_cgs]

I know a few of us have been waiting for this to launch. I'm hoping as my eldest son is home for the duration he will do the decent thing and download a copy for us.

audible has made a selection of their audio books available free of charge. I'm a sucker for a good "talking book," will be listening to one of these this afternoon while I go for for a walk.

final total for the day .. 251 loans. What fantastic, responsible students we have. Kudos to the year 12s who have been looking for wider reading.

[CGS Library @library_cgs]

Obviously for age 13+ only, but what a wonderful opportunity to interact with Sarah.

[CGS Library @library_cgs]

How do CGS students react to the latest news? By borrowing 177 library books by the end of lunchtime ..

[CGS Library @library_cgs]

You can also borrow from the New York Public Library if you are aged 13 or over! Download Simply E from your app store of choice.

World Book have made their e-collection available on line. There's some titles that may be of interest especially the biographies. Hopefully this link should work.
