World Book Day & Spring Read

Thursday March 1st is officially World Book Day. However we are not going to celebrate reading on just one day. No! We will be embracing the wonderful world of reading throughout March with the big Spring Read.

Activites include:

• Book swap
• Author Visits
• Year finals of the EAC Reader's Cup (who will make the school team???)

And don't forget your World Book Day £1 token. S1 & S2 pupils will get this from their English Teacher, anyone else who would like one should see me in the LRC.

If you have anymore ideas for our Spring Read or for displays in the LRC just let me know!

Competition Winner

Congratulations to Colleen Young in S3 who beat off competition from other members of reading clubs around East Ayrshire to design the logo which will be used to help promote our Spring Read festival.

More information about the big Spring Read will be posted here soon.

Get your reviews published in FRESH!

The editors of the Sunday Herald's FRESH magazine have sent us some brand new, not even published yet, books and they want YOU to review them. Suitable reviews will be published in a future edition of FRESH.

If you are an enthusiastic and confident reader, and fancy yourself as a published writer, come to the LRC as soon as possible and see what titles are available.

Hurry, I think these books will go quickly!

Carnegie Medal Shadowing

It's nearly that time of year when we shadow the Carnegie book awards.

The longlist is out and we already have most of the books in the LRC so why don't you check out the list and see what you fancy.

You can still see our reviews from last year on our very own Carnegie website.

We're back!

The blog is back -though you may never have noticed we were here at all!!

I will keep you up to date on all the goings on in the LRC. But if you have any ideas for the blog (even if it is just a change of colour), let me know.
