WORLD BOOK DAY!!

Today is World Book Day. Why not celebrate by deciding to read that one book you've always wanted to but havenever got around to starting. I'm going to try Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Know the story but have never actually read the book. I've downloaded it to my Kindle, so I'll get going this evening. What books would you like to read?

New build- the move in nearly upon us!!

Only 5 weeks left now until the LRC at Booth Lane moves into the new building. After the Easter break, staff and students will be able to use the 'doughnut' at the front of the campus as their first stop for resourses for their study. The staff here are very excited, hope the students will be too.

Short Story Competition

Calling all the budding writers and novelists out there...

The LRC are holding a short story competition to mark World Book Day 2011. You can write on any topic you'd like, providing the word count doesn't go over 1500. Entry deadline is May 3rd 2011. Pop into any LRC to pick up an application form, or visit the LRC website, where you can download one. Come on people, let's put pen to paper and get scribbling!!!

World Book Day is on Thursday 3rd March- visit the official website for more information.

Study Wise- we want to hear from you

We're putting together some A5 leaflets at the moment to help students with study skills. We have things like Presentation Skills, Revision, Essay Writing and a few more. If you have an idea for anything along this line, which you would like to see included either respond to this blog or e-mail bllibrary@northamptoncollege.ac.uk.

New Year, New Build!

Happy New Year everyone. Back to work/ study and everything is much as it was, except that this year the LRC at Booth Lane is going to be moving into its brand new location in the round building at the front of the college. The doughnut (or 'polo' as my daughter likes to call it) will have more space, more facilities and will look great too. Can't wait to get in, only another 3 months or so to go before the move starts!!
