WELCOME TO THE SCHOOL LIBRARY! Librarian: Laura Staiano The library is open to all students throughout the school day for study and for socialising outside of lessons; it provides students with an open, calm space for independent research, quiet reflection, small group activities and immersion in reading for pleasure. All students can borrow books, DVDs and are welcome to come and read the library magazines. We aim to tailor library clubs and activities to interests that the students have and are keen to explore. We currently run a combination of lunchtime and after school clubs; Warhammer Club after school on Tuesdays, Calm Wednesdays (where pupils are encouraged to engage with some quiet crafting activities), and a very popular Chess Club on Thursday lunchtimes.

Students and staff were given ten minutes to try and complete the puzzles, crack the codes and escape the library. Across the week more than 20 teams took on the challenge, but only 5 managed to crack the puzzles in the allotted time; congratulations to those students! Many thanks to the Student Librarians who rejoiced in the opportunity to run such an exciting event. WADDESDON COMMUNITY LIBRARY The Community Library will be returning soon.
