Book Week Celebrations – 2015

After months of planning, creating and preparing our Book Week celebrations they got underway on Monday, 24th August.  On that day we held our first ever book stacking competition (congratulations Charlotte!), welcomed author Cath Crowley, the Emoji book title competition was creating much interest and voting was underway for what book lit up students’ worlds.  Tuesday was our annual morning tea for staff which went down a treat and at lunchtime we held a highly successful scavenger hunt.  Wednesday was our first ever ‘Read In’, where entry to the Library at lunch time was only for quiet reading.  It was blissful and a definite hit with staff and students who took part.  Thursday saw the opening of our Pop Up Book Shop which continued all day Friday staffed by wonderful student helpers.  On Thursday, we welcomed dynamic YA author Ellie Marney back to Loreto where she spoke to Year 10’s and ran a highly engaging writer’s workshop for a lucky group of students.

The week was brilliant and a wonderful celebration of books and reading.  It would not have happened without the amazing Library team who went to extraordinary lengths to make the display a stand out and to ensure the girls had a wonderful week.
