AIS Book Week!

23rd - 27th April 2012

AIS's theme for this year's Book Week is: 'One World, Many Stories'

What does this mean to you?

Activities to celebrate how fabulous books are...and libraries...and reading...and imaginations...and stories...and book recommendations...and sharing...Can you tell I'm excited? Haha! :)

Design a bookmark competition

• Design a bookmark that fits this year's Book Week theme. The winning design will be turned into a real bookmark to be distributed among students checking books out in the upcoming weeks AND each winner will be awarded a gift certificate to Fahasa!

Favourite First Lines

• Throughout AIS Book Week, submit a favorite first sentence from a book... one that makes you want to read the rest of the book! Receive a sweet treat from the library each time you submit a great sentence!

Some of my favourites:

“It was the day my grandmother exploded.” The Crow Road, by Iain Banks (I was addicted to this book when I was a teenager!)

“Ten days after the war ended, my sister Laura drove a car off a bridge.” The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood

“It was love at first sight.” Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

DEAR - Drop Everything And Read

• Daily DEAR time during Advisory (at least 20 minutes)
• Daily DEAR time during LA and ESL :)
  

Guess How Many Books Are in the Library! - sponsored by Student Council

• Each guess cost 5,000d... try to guess how many books (total!) are in the library's collection.
• The closest guess wins 200,000d, a gift certificate to Fahasa, AND a photo with the lovely Ms. Stacia!
• The money raised through this fundraiser will go to the local Thi Nghe Orphanage

Look out for HUGE posters of teachers' favourite books :)
