1/ This year my school library has loaned more books than ever before. I’ve spent 2 years building up a collection of books that the kids actually want to read - comedy, romance & crime are our most popular genres, comics the most popular medium. Years 7, 8 & 9

A #school #librarian can make a huge difference. They will invest in comic books and manga and novels not found on supermarket shelves. They will bring in authors and generate enthusiasm around #readingforpleasure. They will make the #library the most popular place in the school

Etymology of the day is 'on tenterhooks' (not 'tenderhooks'): tenters, once a common sight, are wooden frames on which freshly milled cloth is stretched so that it dries without shrinking. To be on tenterhooks is to be as tense and taut as the cloth itself.
