@RCCREATIVEPA @RiddlesdownC A lot of very excited students in the library... but I've been bribed with a lovely chocolate cupcake!

"Everyone is nice and kind and I always feel welcome."
School libraries play an important role. They offer a safe and inclusive space for students to recharge, socialise, read and study.

Emilia is a Year 7 Orion student who's been devouring books from our library. She's a big fan of Robin Stevens! With her reward card complete, she's won a shiny book badge and a postcard 🏆🏆

When a Year 13 student donates a bunch of old books which you know won't stay in the library very long! Come and pick up a quick read for the weekend👍😀

@redbreastedbird Your books always fly off our library shelves. Another set would be most welcome and would make some of our students very happy. Merry Christmas to you too!

Our foodbank appeal in conjunction with @PurleyFoodHub was a great success! We collected 5000 items for this amazing local charity. Thank you to our families for their generosity, and to Abbie & Taryn in College VI for organising the collection 🌟 🎄

@RiddlesdownC Thinking of them all!

Maya in Y7 chose to spend her Jack Petchey Achievement Award grant in the library so we asked teen writer Sarah Mussi to run 2 creative writing workshops today. We hope this will boost our young writers' confidence! ✍️

A little shy at first, our #carnegie #shadowing group members soon became animated when talking about the books they'd read over Easter. Thank you to Isabella for her lovely cupcakes, and to M for producing a great booklet for the group! @CILIPCKG #ckg22 #libraries @RiddlesdownC

@Waterstones Nothing new but I've never read Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro so that's what I'm reading now.

[Riddlesdown Collegiate Library @LibraryRc]

@rosieandthebook Great finds! The 100 Year Old Man... is witty and entertaining.
