Celebrating Harmony Day

 

On Monday the John Cain Library and the Make and Take Club organised some lunchtime activities to celebrate Harmony Day. We had a lot of fun making badges, writing postcards with a Harmony Day messages, and some even accepted the Harmony Day origami chatter box challenge! Some students also made their very own zines which will be available to read in the coming months.

New books in the library

We have purchased a range of new books for the library this month.

Included in this are some with dyslexia friendly fonts and titles that aim to appeal to reluctant readers. These are displayed on the carousel by the library entrance. 

 

Also new to the collection are some poetry and non-fiction titles, as well as new manga and fiction books. New books are displayed on the circulation desk in the library.
