Caught Reading

I mentioned the Caught Reading Poster Campaign before, and it has now ended. We have displayed all of the posters on an empty library wall.

The next poster campaign is Born Reading, where students have to guess staff from their baby photos (and a quote about their favourite childhood book).

The finished Wall Quotes

I realised I hadn't put up photos of all the finished quotes.

Quote 1 was here

I haven't read a book since year 6 Miss......

I just had a year 11 boy come up and ask help finding something to read. He said he hadn't read a book since year 6, when he had enjoyed Roald Dahl.

What a challenge! I asked what he had liked about Roald Dahl, so I went with trying to find a grown-up version.

In the end I have challenged him to read an adult book, and we selected a Mike Gayle book (funny but definitely male).

What would you have chosen?? I so rarely have older boys ask for help, my mind went blank for a second!

The Library Corridor part 2

So I have a long beige corridor outside the library, and have finally come up with a plan for it. I was inspired by the photo above.


I have done 2 parts of the finished piece so far

New Wall Words to fill a blank space

After the words at the other end of the library, this end looked a bit bare.

Rainbow colour book display

You may have gathered by now that I am loving colour displays of books. This is a display my Assistant did, and its an easy way of making a seemingly normal and random book display look a little special.

The LIbrary Corridor - making it more inviting

The outside wall of the library is an added dry wall, with interior windows. When I arrived it had nothing - no signs, no boards etc. Just a cream corridor.

I have now added the Library sign above the door (in the colours as writing inside the library) and I got the two boards put up.

Literary Characters on Library Wall

I wanted to add a little more interest to the walls, so have made some small characters that are now dotted about the walls.
