Birchensale Library Bookworm Club - to read our latest newsletter - Click here. Our new Librarian, Mrs Willis, is looking forward to continued support with the Scholastic Book Club monthly leaflets and our annual book fairs.

Our latest Scholastic book fair took place at the end of November 2009 and we were very pleased at yet another success, with over £800 having been taken over the course of the week; this was even better than the previous year and earned us extra commission, amounting to more than £500 for our school; the new books are now on our library shelves and being enjoyed by the pupils. We are always grateful for everyone's support.

World Book Day 2010 - Thursday, 4 March - a 'quiet' affair this year while Mrs Willis is settling in; she is still getting to know the Library, staff and pupils here at Birchensale but is grateful for the warm and friendly welcome she has received since joining us upon the retirement of Mrs Widdowson.
