Welcome to Pembroke School Library!
The term has got off to a flying start with exciting visits, activities and competitions lined up for the coming months.
The Bitten by Books Club, together with PSL's team of pupil library assistants, will be off to the Torch Theatre Cinema in Milford Haven soon to see the film of Michael Morpurgo's fantastic novel, War Horse. For more information, visit the library's War Horse hotlist of websites. They're also working their way through as many novels on the Carnegie longlist as possible before the shortlist announcement on Tuesday 27 March. Which is your favourite?
Pembroke School Doctor Who Club regulars meanwhile have a new page on the website to add all the latest info about their activities. The first meeting back was naturally a chance to discuss the Christmas special, The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe; the episode was a big hit with most members. Solving the fiendish episode, villain, character and actor anagrams set by Mrs S required extra Jammie Dodgers! Hand your quiz in next time - goodies up for grabs.
Don't forget too that the Doctor has heard about the club and thinks it's 'brilliant'. He wants more pupils to know about its brilliance - so he has set a creative Christmas competition to design a poster to advertise the club more widely.

Hot Quote
I pray no child of mine should ever descend into such a place as a Library. They are indeed most dangerous places and unfortunate is she or he who is lured into such a hellhole of enjoyment, stimulus, facts, passion and fun.
Willy Russell
