Books are a treasure!

Our books are a real treasure. This year we earned an abundance of new books through the library book fair (which was so heartily supported) and through Scholastic lucky book club (thank-you for supporting this on an ongoing basis) and we have spent our budget (thoughtfully) on non-fiction, award-winning fiction, picture books, sophisticated picture books and graphic novels. In celebration of our wonderful new collection of books, we are currently running a Pirate theme, with the coveted treasure displayed in a chest, richly overflowing with brand new, fabulous, sparkling, colourful BOOKS - available for loan to our school children and staff.

There is a make-shift pirate ship that the children have enjoyed climbing under and peeping through the portholes, or sitting quietly in while they read, read, read ...

It is hard to put into words why books are such a treasure, so I've turned to the poets: 

Notes on the Art of Poetry by Dylan Thomas

I could never have dreamt that there were such goings-on
in the world between the covers of books,
such sandstorms and ice blasts of words,
such staggering peace, such enormous laughter,
such and so many blinding bright lights,
splashing all over the pages
in a million bits and pieces
all of which were words, words, words,
and each of which were alive forever
in its own delight and glory and oddity and light.

So READ, me hearties! Dip your hands into the treasure chest and select, carefully, thoughtfully and with relish... books to take home and read, page through, skim, savour and enjoy!
