How can I access engaging books?

Our school library has thousands of engaging fiction and non-fiction titles.
Our fiction books are organised according to Key Stage but we also have specific genre sections as well as spotlighted recommended titles.
Our non fiction range supports read for study and interest by grouping titles by subject.
Mrs Buck, our superhero librarian is always on hand to offer expert advise on book selections.
Our orange labels will help you quickly identify the level of each book.
