A productive afternoon spent with our Reading Ambassadors, putting together a jolly new noticeboard outside the Sports Hall! #bedesreads #libraries #booksky
A brightly coloured noticeboard on a breeze-block wall, headed with the words Read Every Day, and covered in posters and slogans to do with reading, as well as pictures/illustrations/cartoons of, e.g., brains reading and lifting weights, piles of books, people reading.

Standing room only for John McCullough this lunchtime. Fabulous poetry, great Q&A with some brilliant questions from the students, and Dr O and I may have won a bottle of wine each for the poems we wrote for the competition! #bedesreads #booksky #libraries #poetry
Full library with John answering a question at the front Dr O, John, and me!

New wall display in the library. If you can't afford to travel, read your way around the world instead! #bedesreads #booksky #libraries #librarylife
'Read the World' display on a big inboard. In the middle, a world map. Around it, images of book covers, each connected by a piece of string to the country the story is set in. Each book cover has the country's flag attached to the top left corner, and a banner with the country's name across the bottom right corner. The whole board has a yellow boarder and 'Read the World' is in big blue letters above the board, with the 'o' in 'world' substituted for a stylised round image of Earth.

Cheerful new display that purely by accident became colour-themed! #bedesreads #booksky #libraries #librarylife
A display of YA fiction books, facing out, all with covers in shades of orange, yellow and red, each with a handwritten shelf-talker with a quick one-line synopsis of the story

Some A-Level Media students used the library to film a music video today, and one of the entourage even borrowed a book for the first time ever. This is a new and left-field way to get kids into the library and reading, and I am here for it! #whateverittakes #bedesreads #booksky #librarylife
A group of three students dance on a table as another student films them Three students standing on a table, rehearsing a dance move, while three other students look on. Three students on tables, one singing, one playing guitar, one playing drums, while another student films them. Two students and a teacher are watching.

Cover of the book - faded blue and white horizontal stripes like the uniforms the jews were forced to wear, with suggestions of barbed wire running through.
