London Book & Screen Week 2020

READ * WATCH * CONNECT

9 - 15 March 2020 marks London Book & Screen Week.  

The beginning of the new decade brought with it some fantastic new book-to-screen adaptations which stormed the TV and film charts. London Book & Screen Week celebrates films that made it as books first, including 'Little Women', 'His Dark Materials' and 'How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World'.

Loads more World Book Day fun

We all joined in Drop Everything and Read at midday on World Book Day, even these dodgy looking characters ....

World Book Day fun 2020

Some of the staff at The Ravensbourne School got into the World Book Day spirit and dressed up as their favourite characters.


Can you work out which teachers they are and which characters they chose to be?

Mary Poppins dropped in later ....

and a few other characters popped into the Library.

World Book Day 2020 displays

In anticipation of World Book Day this Thursday the 6th of March 2020 we have created displays in the Discovery Library and War Memorial Library.

rock your world for ever!!!

There is just over a week to go until the big day, but tokens are valid from Thursday the 27th of February.  Check out these great titles which are all free with your £1.00 token!!!!

Be my Valentime

💓It is thought that the custom of choosing a ‘valentine’ on the 14^th of February probably came from the belief, in the 14^th Century, that birds choose their mate on that date.

Chaucer’s poem ‘ Parliament of Fowls’ in which he describes a group of birds that gather together in early spring, on Valentine’s day, sparked a tradition that St Valentine’s day represents a day of finding a mate. 💓

Why not find a good book to fall in love with

 on Valentines day??

And the Oscar goes to ..... the BOOK!

🎬It is Bafta and Oscar time again, 

but remember so many of those winning films 

were books first 🎭

We have many books which were made into films in the War Memorial Library including some on the current nominations list.
