Opening Hours: Monday – Thursday 8.15am – 5pm Friday 8.15 am – 4pm Borrowing Books: Years 7 – 11, 2 books 2 weeks Years 12 & 13, 3 books 3 weeks Please return books on time – items can always be renewed up to 3 times, at the Library desk. (More items can be borrowed by negotiation!) Library Information The AHCC Wiseman Library has over 6,000 items for students (and staff) to use for school work, personal interest and a relaxing read. There are also 29 computers for students to use for their homework. Ask Ms Sinclair, the Librarian, if you need any help. Summer Volunteering Opportunity Cheshire East Libraries are seeking young people aged 13+ to help run the annual Summer Reading Challenge and support children’s literacy in their branches over the summer holiday. Taking part is suitable for students participating in the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme. For more information, log on to: https:// www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/libraries/ latest_library_news.aspx
Printing in the Library In a bid to reduce waste, we are asking students (and staff) to think before they print anything from the library printer. We have finite paper stocks and are keen to be green! Please see the upcoming information about the AHCC Eco Council on the school website and in the Whitsun edition of Aspire..
Recommended Read: This week’s recommended read: Join 12-year-old Tash and her best friend Sam in a story of adventure, survival and hope, set in the vivid Himalayan landscape of Tibet and India. Filled with friendship, love and courage, this young girl's thrilling journey to save her parents is an ideal read for children aged 9-12. Tash has to follow many rules to survive in Tibet, a country occupied by Chinese soldiers. But when a man sets himself on fire in protest and soldiers seize Tash's parents, she and her best friend Sam must break the rules. They are determined to escape Tibet - and seek the help of the Dalai Lama himself in India.
Book Amnesty A significant number of books went missing from the library last year, notably from the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, numerous Roald Dahl, Tom Gates and David Walliams titles, as well as all of the Geek Girl series. Many of these books were brand new. As I am sure you understand, purchasing and having to replace these items impacts heavily on our budget. Therefore, if you have any library books at home, I would ask kindly that they are returned, no questions asked. All our students can then benefit from an increased choice of books on the shelves. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and support in this matter.
