*READING*

Good morning,

Please find  here the posters that I have created with the new library books and recommended reads. They are going to be displayed in our school library but I thought it would be useful to share them with you all so that you can support and influence the choices that your child makes with regards to their reading book. For example, if your child has just finished reading the Dog Man sequel and they are looking for similar books, you can make reference to these posters for recommendations. If yourself and your child decide on a book together, then it is worth jotting this down in their reading record so that their class teacher or TA can help them to find it in the library.

*BOOK DONATIONS*
We try our best to keep our library up to date with new and exciting books. This includes newly released books that add to existing sequels. Therefore, we can't always replace the books that get destroyed due to general wear and tear and/or duplicate our extremely popular titles that many of our children want to read. With this in mind, please consider us when you are having a clear out of books that are still in good condition and are written by popular authors.
