LIBRARY NEWS

For many people, including myself, reading is a way of escaping reality by settling into a quiet space with a calming atmosphere. As promised in the last newsletter, look at the finished result. All residential pupils are free to use this area.

Nothing is more relaxing than reading surrounded by books in a cosy place. It might be a quiet corner in a beautiful library, a table by yourself, or a cosy book corner, like the one created for the pupils' boarding. The pupils can use this area to escape into a world of fantasy, drama, adventures, and the supernatural and enjoy reading for pleasure.

Some of my greatest reading experiences have been in places like this one. I’m sure it will be a great place to experiment with different kinds of books and genres. And being surrounded by other readers reminds them of this great thing they all have in common.

The space has been transformed from an everyday space into a unique, memorable resource that hopefully sparks curiosity and imagination and allows the reader to explore the whole space, including the small details within.
