Happy Library and Information Week

Library and Information Week runs from 21-27 May and celebrates everything great about your library and what it can do for you. It celebrates your Librarian, Library Technicians and Library Assistants and the roles they play in making your library the learning hub and continually evolving environment for life-long learning.

As a part of Library and Information week, the library looked at how the students are borrowing, and what books have proven to be most popular this year. The top three fiction titles for 2018 are:
