FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR LIBRARY


VALENTINE'S DAY was the day we launched our ‘LOVE YOUR LIBRARY’ theme for the rest of February. We believe there are lots of reasons to fall in love with your library and take advantage of all the great resources we offer. For the rest of February we will have displays and activities running so get involved.
 
 
 
This year for Valentine's day we tried our first ever ‘BLIND DATE WITH A BOOK’ promotion. Students  borrowed a mystery book from the library, wrapped in brown paper, so they didn't know what the title was or who the author was. There was however a clue on the front of each book to help you decide and each book was suitable for both boys and girls. Each borrower had to commit to reading at least 20 pages before they returned it as often they were reading a different gentre to what they were used to. This proved to be a great hit and we were sold out (borrowed out) of all the dates on display. The students seemed to enjoy the experience  and even the staff took up the opportunity to try this new idea.

We also had a great selection of ROMANCE novels for those who LOVE this genre.
 
LOOK OUT FOR MORE ACTIVITIES DURING FEB!
