From the Library 

Book Bingo is back soon: Design our poster!   

The library is holding a Summer Book Bingo Challenge starting at the end of Term 4 and running until the start of Term 1, 2024.   

We are asking students to design and illustrate our Book Bingo card. A prize will be given for the winning design.   The illustration should frame the grid that contains the genres of books the school community can read to complete the Book Bingo Challenge.    

Specifications: The Book Bingo Card should be A4 in size with a framed design and the centre square illustrated and marked ‘FREE’.    

Your choice of colour or black and white media.   

Don’t worry about all the other squares, the library will complete the book genres and other information for the challenge.   

The Book Bingo card should contain the following information:   

Summer Reading Challenge

Centre square marked ‘FREE’   

The design can be any theme you choose.

Overdue library books - well done! 

As of 1 November we have only 303 overdue books! This is a pretty good number, however there are some long-term overdues that we would love to see back in the library, so they can be available to other students. 

When a book is two weeks or more overdue, you will be notified via your school email.  

You can renew your books online through Compass/Star Menu/Library Sign In, then choosing the SSO (Single Sign On option). Use your NHS email and Compass password to sign in.  

You can also renew at the library service desk. No need to bring the item just let us know your Compass ID and we can renew any item you have on loan. If you have misplaced or lost a book please come and see the Library staff.
