Library Poetry competition

We will be launching our annual Poetry Competition on Monday 25th November and would like as many of our staff and students to enter as possible. You can chose any topic, any length and have until Thursday 19th December to hand in your masterpiece. There will be entry forms available from any of the three libraries, downloadable from our website or you can e-mail your entry to:

 library@northamptoncollege.ac.uk

We'll announce the winner/s in the New Year. Prizes will be awarded later in the academic year at a big prize-giving ceremony. GOOD LUCK.

PS: here's what the entry form should look like, but this poem won't be entered in the competition!!

 

New ways of talking about books

If you are a regular reader of the blog, you may have noticed that we have a new tab at the top of the page. This tab will take you to our forum, where we hope you will find it easier to chat about books. There will be different topics and different threads within those topics. You can register as a member, if you want to, but it's not necessary in order for you to leave a comment. It will ask you for a name (which you can make up if you like) and an email address (but this won't be made public). Then you can respond to our comments or make up something of your own.
At the moment we have a thread running on Room 101, where you can chat about characters in books who you've really disliked. There's already a few names on there, so why not have a look and see if you agree or if there is anyone you would like to add.
