Each month, the Library will feature a curated selection of ‘Themed Reads’ to inspire and broaden the reading choices of pupils. These carefully chosen titles will be linked to a specific theme, encouraging students to explore genres, authors, and topics they may not typically consider. Whether it is books on Islamic Literature during the month of Ramadhan, autobiographies in December, or poetry during National Poetry Month, the library’s monthly displays will offer a diverse range of reads designed to spark curiosity and promote reading beyond comfort zones. By engaging with these themed collections, pupils can discover new interests, enhance their learning experience, and develop a deeper appreciation for different literary styles and genres.
