As World Book Day fast approaches, here are some of the fun things the library is doing to celebrate.

• We are offering Love Heart sweets to anyone who submits a book review (to be displayed in the library and on Reading Cloud).
• We are offering a personalised badge of your favourite book in return for a review of that book (please collect a form from the library if you are interested in doing this). 
• On 2nd March we will be launching the BAT Book Awards 2023. Five shortlisted books have been chosen for students to read and enjoy. Students can sign up for the BAT awards club which will meet once a fortnight to enjoy arts and crafts activities, talk about the books, write reviews – to generally share and enjoy the books.  Club attendees will be asked to vote on their favourite book from the shortlist later in the year. The club will culminate in a special book awards ceremony to be held at Moulsham High School in the summer. Please speak to a librarian to sign up.
• Art & Craft club on World Book Day will be making miniature books.
