Reading for pleasure, raising literacy and
achievement
Books (fiction)
Finding Fiction
If you are looking for a particular book, you will need to know the
author’s name.
When you are browsing the shelves, you will find all the different
genres of books together to help you broaden your range of
reading.
The Library has a range of audio books on CD. If you would prefer
to listen to a book, rather than reading it, come and take a look.

Accelerated Reader
Once you have read a book, you can take an online quiz. For every
quiz you take, you will get two merits for a score of more than
70%, and three merits for 100%. Every 100% quiz score will see
you join the 100% Club, and members of the club will have prizes
awarded termly.
Book-Swap Box
You can bring in books you have read but do not want to keep any
more and add them to the swap-box, as well as taking away any
books that have been read and left by others.
DVDs

There are a number of DVDs available for you to borrow. We have a
range of great movies, which are either adaptations of books or
linked to their curriculum, to encourage reading and learning
through film.
DVDs are loaned after school for one night and are to be returned
the following morning.

Research and Finding Information:
the books
Non-fiction books are available to help you with your research
and extended learning. There are also books that will reflect your
interests outside of school.
The system was invented so that books were easier to find, with
those about similar things closer together.
