#ThrowbackThursday Did you know that we abolished fines in the library way back in 1952? Mind you, it does mean that at this time of the year we keenly try to get books back that have been out on loan for some time before the Summer holidays arrive…

It's taken us a few days to get this display up, but political literacy is important to start learning way before you have the ability to vote #generalelection2024

A month to go until we start our move to Grove House, today's #ThrowbackThursday are pictures of when the library was in what are now English classrooms in Peckover - 1940's, 100 years ago in 1924, and a sketch from 1929

It's #ThrowbackThursday and I am very glad that we no longer need to keep a hand-written log book - as are my colleagues considering my handwriting. But we have lost a lovely personalized way of recommending books like this from 1954

Today's #ThrowbackThursday - one of our upcoming challenges with the new Grove library will be bringing the non-fiction from the library through into the sixth form study area - but did you know that it is just over 75 years since we began using the Dewey system at LP? July 1948

As part of our build-up to the library move to Grove House, here is a #ThrowbackThursday (Is that even still a thing) showing what the library looked like back in the 80’s when it was still located in Townsend before we moved to Old School #TBThursday

@lizbogonia @GrrChris One of the vital skills that all school librarians should have to keep our students safe - I am impressed that someone picked up on that detail...

We have also challenged our tutor groups to recreate a book cover with things they have to hand for #WorldBookDay2024 . Is it odd that one of our librarians has skeletons and aviator shades lying around at home?
