Daily Reading Challenge

A simple challenge for today. Find a book to read. Then depending on the weather where you are either: a) read the book outside whilst wearing a hat or
            b) read the book inside in a blanket fort.
Why not take a photo and send it to your English teacher? Let them know it is from the ICHS Library Blog Reading Challenge posts.

Holocaust Memorial Day

 
Every year on the 27th of January, the date of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp at the end of WW2, the world remembers all of those who have been affected by acts of genocide whether in the concentration camps or during conflicts in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia or Darfur. The theme for HMD 2015 is 'Keep the memory alive'. There is a display in the Library to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.

Display for Halloween

As the nights grow ever longer and darker and the weather becomes colder and wetter what could be better than to sit indoors and read a lovely, long... horror story!!
Celebrate Halloween by choosing from the many horror books on display around the Library. If you are not afraid of spiders you could even borrow one from the shelves beneath the display board! So, 'Don't be a scaredy cat.. read some horror!!'
