Summer reading...escape with a book!

As the heatwave hit Beaumont last week and temperatures in the library soared, our thoughts turned to summer and the holidays ahead. To help students prepare for the long summer break we decided to put together two holiday reading displays with book suggestions galore. 

The above display features fourteen books well worth packing in your suitcase. The selection includes the thought-provoking CILIP Carnegie Medal-winning Salt to the Sea and The Bone Sparrow which was awarded the Amnesty CILIP Honour. Alongside these is the latest Tom Gates book Family, Friends and Furry Creatures and two of the books shortlisted for the Laugh Out Loud Book Award 2017: My Gym Teacher is an Alien Overlord and David Baddiel's Animalcom. For Holly Smale fans there is the Geek Girl special Sunny Side Up. Whatever style or genre of book you enjoy, there is something for you on this display: from romance to fast-paced action adventure and from horror to humour.

As you can see, we have picked the books in our second display on the basis of their sunshine-yellow covers! The result is an exciting mix of titles to suit all tastes. Come along to the library and see for yourself!
