Welcome to Pembroke School Library!

The term has got off to a flying start with exciting visits, activities and competitions lined up for the coming months.

The Bitten by Books Club, together with PSL's team of pupil library assistants, will be off to the Torch Theatre Cinema in Milford Haven soon to see the film of Michael Morpurgo's fantastic novel, War Horse.  For more information, visit the library's War Horse hotlist of websites. They're also working their way through as many novels on the Carnegie longlist as possible before the shortlist announcement on Tuesday 27 March. Which is your favourite?

Pembroke School Doctor Who Club regulars meanwhile have a new page on the website to add all the latest info about their activities. The first meeting back was naturally a chance to discuss the Christmas special, The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe; the episode was a big hit with most members. Solving the fiendish episode, villain, character and actor anagrams set by Mrs S required extra Jammie Dodgers! Hand your quiz in next time - goodies up for grabs.

Don't forget too that the Doctor has heard about the club and thinks it's 'brilliant'. He wants more pupils to know about its brilliance - so he has set a creative Christmas competition to design a poster to advertise the club more widely.

National Libraries Day - Saturday 4 February (and the week leading up to it)

We're celebrating our school library and all kinds of libraries everywhere on National Libraries Day ! Find out what your library is doing. Follow what's been going on with #NLD12

Wednesday 1 February: Body in the Library Murder Mystery - follow the trail of clues at lunchtime in the Library and solve the mystery. Prizes for winning teams or individuals.

Thursday 2 February: Read-In Party. Staff and pupils will be dropping by to share some exciting, tense or funny reads, poems, amazing facts, plus activities, freebies and a celebratory cake!

Throughout the week: competitions and on the spot prizes to be won! Identify the Book Jacket competitions, divided into three sections - Years 7 and 8, Years 9 to Sixth Form and Staff; feel free to enter whichever you choose - or all three! Book jackets can be found in the Canteen, in the Library and on the school network. An ideal activity to fill registration time or to have a go at while in the canteen queue! All entries should be handed in or sent to the Library by Wednesday 8 February 2012.

Add an 'I love my school library because...' slip to the 'We love our school library' tree. A selection of your comments to follow here shortly.

We hope to see as many pupils and staff as possible popping in during the week to take part in an event, check their competition entries, browse, borrow, discover something new, sign up for a club and just enjoy their school library!
