“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies (said Jojen). The man who never reads lives only one.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons
In the midst of the busyness this week, especially among senior students who will be sitting mocks next week, the library became a place of solace and enjoyment. Library week for 2016 enabled students to reignite or spark their love for books, reading or simply to find the greatness in the peace that the library contains.
Thank to Mrs Monroe and Mrs Norton, this library week was packed with a myriad of activities that were enjoyed by all. Every lunch time there were interesting activities running in the library such as: Where’s Wally, Library Kahoot and the very competitive Staff vs Students Lit Quiz. The students put up a great fight, yet the many book-passionate teachers rose to become this year’s amazing winners. Furthermore, double house points were given to every book borrowed, plus there were more activities that went on for the entirety of the week: Guess the Mystery Book, Colouring Competition and Guess the Hidden Object.
Overall, this year’s Library Week has been a total success. It has not only allowed students to get a break from the hard work they’ve been putting in for studying, but it has also given the teachers some fun as well!
