I love discussing setting in fiction during the library lessons. For example, what is the significance of the salt marsh as the setting of this (amazing) book by Hilary McKay? Year 8 students have given very thoughtful answers.

My students and I have just received this card by Hilary McKay with Keith Robinson 's artwork and I am over the moon. Thank you!!

A fabulous idea!

This glorious drawing timelapse video by Chie conjures the world of Tokyo Ghost Café so perfectly. The Tengu Master... 🙏🙏

Fight Back while standing together. Thanks, A.M. Dassu BOOK UPDATES - Insta: @a.m.dassu . We need books that challenge stereotypes and divisions.

The other day, we decorated some leaves to use them as bookmarks. They are gorgeous. Don't laminate them! #GreatSchoolLibraries #AutumnLeaves #AutumnCrafts #LibraryCrafts

This is pure joy and I'm going to display it in the library tomorrow. Let us ban liars and dirty faces!

A pinecone book fairy is essential equipment for any reader. Don't you have yours? What?! Come to our library workshop tomorrow after school and make one. #librarycrafts #GreatSchoolLibraries #wintercrafts #creativity #readers Frances Hardinge

" I think what I need is a random job such as yours"./ "Are you a school librarian? Wow. I like people who are happy with simple things." I could carry on.

Thanks to our unstoppable parent volunteers, a new batch of fabric book sleeves is on its way. Do you want to make some for your children or even donate them to the school? Have a look at our tutorial in the post below. It makes a beautiful Christmas present too! #greenlibraries

Such sad news indeed! RIP.

A group of year 7's have created their own comic magazine inspired by The Phoenix comic. It's called Banana Tree Comix, and Issue N 2 has just been released! It is an absolute delight: full of stories, colours, adventure and laughter. Long live #comics!!

Some of the spectacular comics submitted by our year 7-9 students for the competition “What’s in the creepy room?”. (There is a tiny, creepy door in the library and nobody knows what’s beyond). More for you, The Phoenix comic!

Silent movies in the library! Scrooge or Marley's Ghost (1901), A Trip tothe Moon (1902) and A Christmas carol (1908) will be projected today at lunchtime. #GreatSchoolLibraries

The sweetest thing. Now available in the library.#Heartstopper #heartstopper5

We absolutely loved A Christmas Carol by Creation Theatre today! It’s funny, and moving,and imaginative, and, finally, so full of joy and warmth!

It is almost time to leave our beautiful library in the hands of another lucky librarian. It was a pleasure to work at Cherwell for almost eight years, and I am very excited to be starting at Matthew Arnold School in January. So long! #leavers
