Resource Centre News

The Resource Centre is continuing to build capacity in the works of culturally diverse authors and inclusion which is reflected in the new book display currently on show in the Resource Centre. The works of Oliver Phommavanh, Benjamin Zephaniah, Remy Lai, Anh Do, Onjali Q . Rauf, Casey Watson, John Howard Griffin, Victoria Jamieson and Omar Mohamed are some authors featured in the display.

A range of thriller novels by Malorie Blackman and Jack Heath and spy novels by Stuart Gibbs are also on display and ready for borrowing by students. 

Students with overdue books received reminder notices last week regarding these items and we ask that these be returned to the Resource Centre as soon as soon as possible, or for the Resource Centre Staff to be contacted, should there be a problem in returning the items so that the situation can be quickly resolved.

‘Reading is an exercise in empathy; an exercise in walking in someone else's shoes for a while' Malorie Blackman (British writer who held the position of Children's Laureate from 2013 to 2015. She primarily writes literature and television drama for children and young adults).
