Library activities schedule

The Library is a great place to use for quiet study or reading.

However we also have a big programme of clubs and events. Students should visit the library regularly to be aware of advertised events which will include authors, trips & book sales (some of which are listed here).

There are also competitions - look on the library desk to see what is current!

Students need to speak to our librarian, Ms Swinyard, or email her via hswinyard@greigcityacademy.co.uk to secure their place at events prior to the day.
