Welcome to our school Library

Regular reading at home has never been more important to support your child’s development.
Finding the right book is often key to turning a child into a reader – the book that connects with them, that makes them realise that reading can transport them, guide them, make them laugh, cry or simply entertain them, and some that might just make them realise that reading is fun.
Finding the right book takes time, to help choose why not look at the Books Trust website which gives recommended books for different age groups. Click here to go to the books trust page.
We hope that within these lists you’ll find a lot of ‘right’ books, you may find some ‘wrong’ books too but that’s all part of the fun!
Let’s help our children to love reading!

We are trying to promote reading for pleasure with all our children, follow our twitter feed @GomersalReading for ideas and to join in.
Want to know more about your favourite authors or their characters?
Most authors have brilliant websites with loads of fun information, games and competitions. Why not take a look at your favourite author and see what new things you can find out!
Click on the a picture below to open one of these authors pages, or do a search for a different author.
We would love to know what books you would like to see in the library....click on the link to give us your ideas.
HOw the Library Works
CLASS LIBRARY TIME
Once a week each class will have time to visit the library, the library is set out to try and make it as user friendly as possible, we have author sections, as well as sections of Dinosaur, Pirate, Fairy, Sports books etc. If a child would like a specific book they should be able to find it or they can ask for the help Mrs Dewhirst who tends to know most of the books and where they are!
Any book can be taken from the library, the only restrictions are that there is a year 5/6 area for some older children's books.
The children can keep the library book until they have read it but a reminder will be sent occasionally if the book has been out for more than a month, if for some reason the book gets lost or ruined we ask that you replace it with the same book or pay the lost book fee (£5) Unfortunately we cannot let a child take a 2nd book out until the book is found/replaced or paid for.
Please encourage your child to look after the books, in book bags and rucksacks they tend to get shoved to the bottom, water bottles leak on them, pages tear and corners bend, so extra care needs to be taken if we are to keep these books for the years we need them to survive!
After School Library
We open up the library after school on the first Monday of each month. Grown ups are welcome to bring the children along to listen to a story and choose an extra library book or two. There are drinks and biscuits available as an extra incentive too!
If anyone would like more information pop along at 3.15 the first Monday of each Month (enter through the art room doors)
Thank you!
Huge thanks to all the people who have kindly donated books to the library. We are very grateful to everyone.
Old books?
If your bookshelves are getting a bit full and you have out grown some of your books we would be delighted to give them a new home in the school library, these can be handed in to the school office.
Coming soon...
We hope that students will soon be able to log into the library system at home and see which book they have out, check which books are in the library, write reviews on books they've read and give and receive recommendations on books.
