Library News
August 2019
Welcome to a new school year.
There's something different in the library...
Junior fiction
We've even sorted the books by genre so you can find the book you want by simply choosing a box pulling it off the shelf and having a look through. There are even helpful stickers on the books so you know which genre they belong in.
In keeping with the spirit of not using plastic we managed to re-purpose the boxes that our copier paper arrives in to make the genre boxes.We hope that this change will make it easier for our junior readers to find and enjoy books in the library and also now our older readers can locate the books they want much easier too.
Furniture change.
Library opening times
In the mornings however, we have made some significant changes. Children of all year groups can come into the library from 8.15am and have a quiet reading place until school starts at 8.30am.
The first 40 children in the mornings and lunchtime sessions will be expected to stay for the duration of the session, and there will be no moving from the Library until the session has ended. If you choose to be in the library you have to stay here!
We cannot have more than 40 children in the library and have a counter system in place. once we have 40 children in the library the library is full. The library is so loved by the children of Peak School that we find ourselves full very quickly during most sessions, so it really is good to be on time.
Library volunteers.
1. Sorting shelves and putting books away.
2. Covering new books.

If this is something you think you are interested in please come and join us for a coffee and a chat on Wednesday 18th September 2019 at 8.30am in the Library ILE.
We hope to see you there!
