Books and Brownies Returns!

Back by popular demand this year’s Book and Brownies kicked off on Tuesday, 20 May in the library. 10 students joined Miss Mill, the Librarian, to discuss the books they are currently reading and their favourite genres over hot chocolate and home-made chocolate brownies. The students finished their time together browsing some of the brand new books that have been added to the catalogue with the first chance to borrow them. This event will happen once a month over term 2 and 3. The sign-up sheet for next month will be available from Monday 16th June for the next session on Tuesday 24th June. Places are limited and fill up fast.

Come hear her story of advocacy and passion for those without a voice in the publishing world.
