National Libraries Day

The Learning and Skills Centre ran  another competion for National Libraries Day recently.  We asked you to tell us 'Why you love your Library' or 'Recommend your favourite read or most helpful coursebook'

Two lucky winners each received a £10 amazon voucher.

I love my library because...

It provides me with a large selection of books that are both novels and revision guides for my college work. the library also provides me with computers so that I can go to a quiet relaxed place to complete work. The library also has friendly staff who are available to help whenever you need it.

The Book I recommend is...

At Bertrams Hotel by Agatha Christie because it was the first Christie book I ever read and with its detailed and ingenious clues throughout the book and ultimate reveal it was spectacular. despite being one of the lesser known Christie novels, it's absolutely underrated and one of her best reveals.
