National Children's Book Week is an annual event sponsored and organised by the Young Book Trust. Lively book-related events promote the enjoyment of books and reading.

National Children's Book Week 2001 took place from 1st to 7th October. The Library celebrated with a series of events throughout the week.

As well as the launch of the Read Around the World reading challenge, the week saw the return of the ever-popular lunchtime quiz on Friday 5th October. More than fifteen teams took part. Congratulations to the winning team!

Which 3 books or poems would you take to a desert island? Pupils and staff told us their favourites and the results can be seen in a special display outside the Resources Department.

One of our most successful Book Week events was the Libraries of the Future competition held in 2000. We asked you what you thought libraries would be like in the year 2150. Click here to view the winning entries!
