World Book Day

World Book Day

Today is World Book Day and Library+ is celebrating with a quiz which students can complete and return for a chance to win a £10 Waterstones voucher. You need to return your completed quiz to the library by the 13th March 2017 at the latest.

Reading

Do you read for pleasure? If not, why not try something from our selection in Library+? You can borrow some to try. It doesn’t matter if you don’t get in to them, you can bring them back and try something else – all without having to pay anything.

If you haven’t read much before, perhaps try our selection of Quick Reads. These are not too long and can help you get used to reading a story through. Perhaps look for a plot (written on the back of the book) which is similar to the films you like to watch.

For those of us who enjoy reading we know the benefits of reading. There is nothing like finding a book that you can’t put down because it is so good and you just must know what happens.

Here are some of the other advantages for reading:

• ·         It helps you use your imagination (without having to try).
• ·         It gives you an insight into how different characters think and act.
• ·         It subconsciously helps you learn new words and improves your writing (e.g. for college work).
• ·         It helps you escape from reality for a while – ideal for relaxation and your mental health.
• ·         It is something you can do when you are on your own (whilst not necessarily feeling that you are).
• ·         It is great when you find an author or series that you like. You can then go and read their other books – just for enjoyment.

S  So why not give it a try. Just ask the library staff if you aren't sure what to choose. No one is going to check up on you and it is always good to try something new.
