One of the regular offerings by the library is the Book Awards Club which runs each Wednesday lunchtime. Members of the group shadow the Trinity School Book Award (TSBA) and The Carnegies; reading the nominated books, sharing our thoughts on what we’ve read, taking part in activities connected to the books, and writing reviews and creative responses based on the books. Most excitingly, after much discussion, we vote for our favourite book.

This year the members of the group were lucky enough to attend the ceremony for the TSBA awards, in London. It was an exciting event and everyone had a fantastic evening. We got to meet some of the authors and lots of other school book clubs, and we had a great time talking about books, creative writing and our favourite authors.

If any students are thinking of signing up then now is the ideal time. With the TSBA concluded, we begin again with The Carnegies! Feel free to sign up on SOCS, or come and have a chat with Mrs Yates next time you’re in the library. If you’d like to take a look at the winners and the shortlisted books for these awards then head over to their websites for more information.
