Library staff all contributed some worldly items to complement the cultural museum box, which was used to build our CBC Book Week display. We have thee competitions that will run until end of August so there’s still time to enter to win a book or anatomical keyring. We’ve displayed statues and monuments of authors and book characters all week on our LCD screen hoping some will guess their identity or location.
Why is Book Week still relevant to teenagers? We all get so caught up working hard on our next assignment, we often forget that the absolute best way to do well on unseen tests (like Core Skills or NAPLAN) is to have a lot of recreational and wide reading over time. And, reading literature for pleasure makes you a more interesting all-round person just like reading the newspaper or watching the news makes you a better citizen of the world!
A sincere ‘Thank you’ to Collins Bookstore, Smithfield for donating book prizes and collating a small book fair/sale for us to inspect. Check out our “World of Stories” display below or on AuthorStream, if you missed our display last week.
