Poetry Competition Winners

Congratulations to the winners of the poetry competition, which ran across all three sites. There were some fantastic entries, showing a lot of talent and hardwork. All winners have been notified by Daniel, the Lower Mounts Librarian and prizes are availble for collection. Excert from 1st prize winning entry:
Top Deck (Anon)
"Mobile phones emit tinny timbres
Each of their words a foul mouthed cuss.
I close my eyes for want of peace
Not a chance on this crowded bus."
Good work all round.

Beacon Award ra ra ra!!

Huge well done to all Northampton College Library staff for winning the presigious (and elusive) ColRiC Beacon Award in Effective Integration of Libraries/LRSs in Curriculum Delivery. Loads of hard work and dedication by everyone has resulted in an acknowledgement that is really difficult to achieve. The College now has a Beacon status, which I'm sure all staff and students are pleased about. Good times!!

Poetry Competition completed

Well done to everyone who created and submitted a poem for the NC Library poetry competition. The judges are reading through the entries now and the winners should be revealed before the end of this month. Even if you're not a winner, pat yourself on the back. It takes a lot of courage to decide to let others read something as personal as a poem, so well done to you!!

Study Review Week

Good morning all
Just like to say well done to all the Library staff who've worked hard over this first term. Increased volume of students through the door, extra study skills sessions and new computer system at BL have pushed us but I think we've all done great. Hope the other 2 sites have had a good term too. Roll on SRW.
To the students, hope you've all settled in now and are enjoying your course. Remember to come and ask us questions any time you have a problem with finding resourses for your assignments- we're here to help you. Have a good week off, see you November.

PS. Remember the Libraries at all 3 sites stay open during the holiday: Mon-Fri 10am-4pm. So you can still do some homework, if you want to!!

Get the reading bug!
