Love Libraries Day

Saturday 4th of February is National Love Libraries Day. This is to celebrate and encourage the use of resources from all areas including educational and public libraries. We don't want to see any more of this essential places close down, so why not show your support by visiting your local branch this Saturady and taking part in any activities they have going on. Northampton College Library is joining in the fun by compiling a quiz. These are avaible from any of the library centres and all the questions are library or literary based. The winning entry will receive a fantastic prize, so come on in this week and see how you do!!

Come and join the 6 Book Challenge

The 2012 Six Book Challenge has started and we are hoping to have an increase in the number of students who take part. Any student who has English as a second language, has just started learning to read or would like to improve their reading skills is invited to take part. All you have to do is read six books between now and June and keep a record of them in your Challenge diary. Bring your diary into the Library each time you return your book and we can stamp it. Once you've read all 6 (in June) you will be entered into a national prize draw (London Theatre trip) and will recieve a certificate and prize from the Library.
Come along to any of the libraries and ask to join. Good luck with your challenge, I'm sure will enjoy it!!

Here are some of last year's finishers with their certificates and prizes.

If you would like to know more pop into the Library and ask a member of staff, or visit the Challenge website at:

Wallace and Gromit Tea Party Results

The libraries across the three sites would like to say a big thank you to everyone who contributed to our annual tea party and open day. We managed, with your help, to raise £465!!! This is a fantastic total and a huge increase from last year. The money goes to help sick children in hospices, so it really is a worthy cause. Thanks once again and we hope to see you this December to try and up the total once more.

It's Tea Time!!

It's the time of year again- time for the Library to host Wallace and Gromit's Great British Tea Party. There will be tea/ coffee and cakes for sale, plus the chance to take part in games and a raffle.
