South Wirral High School have had a very exciting week launching the \u2018Reading for Pleasure\u2019 initiative alongside the opening over their brand new library. The \u00a0library has been completely restructured and is now colour coded line with the pupils reading age.<\/p>\n

The Head of English at South Wirral commented “World Book Day was the ideal day to launch the new ‘Pleasure for Reading’ initiative at the school.\u00a0 The whole school, students and staff alike embraced the ethos of the initiative and to show this commitment each staff member is visually displaying which book they are currently reading in their classroom or office.”<\/p>\n

To celebrate the launch of the new library and initiative the school invited The Mayor and Mayoress of Wirral along with Jacqueline Kirkham, a local film and script writer. The Mayor, Councillor Dave Mitchell \u00a0officially opened the library.\u00a0 Cllr. Mitchell was really happy to be invited and commented \u201cIt is fantastic to be involved in the official opening of the Library.\u00a0 I like nothing more than to read for pleasure,\u00a0 I find it an exciting way to move on and learn new things\u201d.\u00a0 The mayor also recommended three books that he considers as \u2018must reads\u2019\u00a0 These were; Captain Corelli\u2019s Mandolin by Louis de Bernieres, The Poisoned Island by Lloyd Shepherd and Captain Cook Voyages by James Cook.<\/p>\n

Sean Peloe, Account Manager at New Directions Education was also invited by the school to attended the opening of the library.\u00a0 Sean commented, \u201cI was really pleased to be asked to attend the official opening of the library, particularly as it was on World Book Day!\u00a0 I feel that the \u2018Reading for Pleasure\u2019 initiative is very important in getting children to read more.\u00a0 I loved reading as a child and feel it is such a fun way to learn whether you enjoy, factual or fiction books or even reading the likes of comics or graphic novels which can also be very educational. It was also such an honour to meet the Mayor, Mayoress and Jacqueline and be a part of the opening of the library and Reading for Pleasure initiative\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
