Sharing the love of reading was the theme for our first Speed Dating with a Book event held late in term two.
Presenters had two minutes to tell their small audience about a favourite book or most recent read. At the sound of a bell participants moved to the next presenter.
So participants got to know a lot about quite a few books (and quite a bit about the presenters too).
Congratulations to all who took part in this hectic and fun-filled activity, especially Ravi and Tine for the organisation. Participants came away with a flyer created by Tine on each of the books they heard about during their dates.
The books are either in the library or coming soon.
