Literary quizzes in the Library

The Lent Term saw the library enter a multitude of different looks thanks to the many celebratory months we recognised. The staff and students were able to be introduced to some unfamiliar titles showcased, that were mentioned on our board and stock displays. 

February brought us LGBTQ+ History Month which gave us all an excuse to add a bit of colour and flags to our book selection as well as to include many information cards on notable people covering various fields of work.  

March saw Women’s History Month taking centre stage with International Women’s Day on the 8 March. Both the main display in the Undercroft and the book display in the Lower Library showcased all the wonderful, diverse, and interesting authors that can be found with our library.  

World Book Day on 3 March this year saw the library put on a mini multiple-choice quiz with the winner getting their hands on a copy of the Guinness Book of Records. Out of all the entrants Will Bennett (3e) had the most correct answers. 

The Semi Final matches for the Inter-House literary quiz has now come to a close. Of the eight Houses that have started out in this knockout competition, only Lyon House and Harper House remain. They will pit their wits against each other in April in the final to see who will raise the trophy.
