The Library Bookshop

If a pupil wants a book that is not on The Library Catalogue, all they have to do is
ask Mr Johnston and as long as it is an appropriate choice, then Mr Johnston will
buy it for the library collection and the pupil will get the first borrow of the book.
The Mobile Library
If a pupil has reserved a book it will be delivered directly to you during form time as
soon as it becomes available, either by Mr Johnston or by one of the Pupil
Librarians.

Book recommendations

If a pupil is unsure which book they want to read, ask Mr Johnston or one of the
Pupil Librarians to help you. The best book recommendations will come from your
friends, so ask them what books they like too. Check out the Help with Books section
of the website where there are 10 books from the last 10 years specially chosen for
each school year. You could also look at one of these websites:
