It has been another busy year and now that it’s drawing to a close, students and staff may want to relax with a few good books. Rather than leave the books locked up like prisoners in the libraries, students and staff can borrow a few to keep over the holiday break and return in the first week of Term 1 2024.

With digital becoming such a prevalent way to access information, fewer textbooks are required so for more effective use of library staff, textbook hire will be closed from Thursday 30 November. Anyone wishing to return books after school breaks up should leave them at the main reception for library staff to collect. The office will close Friday 8 December 2023 and reopen Monday 8 January 2024.

We are looking forward to a new year of exciting literary adventures, in fact Somerset Storyfest planning is already underway.

Best wishes for a happy and safe Christmas and New Year from the Library.
